“Urgent care is a service we are pleased to have in Madison, and many conditions can be seen and appropriately treated in that setting, uncomplicated infections or injuries, for example. However, when it comes to chronic medical conditions, they remain best treated through a person’s Primary Care Provider. A patient’s health goals and vision of their future should be shared with their Primary Care Provider. These goals shape some of the subtleties of the care we deliver and that we believe leads to optimal long-term health outcomes.”
-Dr. Justin Clem of Madison Regional Health System
