A quality and professional walk-in clinic for your minor health care needs. Our Goal is to provide compassionate and timely care for those unexpected health concerns that may not be an emergency, but certainly need medical attention. As an extension of Palouse Medical, ReadyCare is just one more way that we partner with patients for better health!
It seems like there is no getting around it, injuries and illness never seem to happen when we have “time for them” or provide us with enough advance notice that we can schedule occurrences into our busy lives. Instead, they come around at the most inconvenient times.Here at Pullman ReadyCare, we understand that when sudden illness or injuries occur, they often will strike at the worst times and especially “after hours” when access to your healthcare provider is not an option.
Palouse Medical created ReadyCare to further strengthen their commitment to be a health partner to patients and the community. ReadyCare provides our community with much needed access to healthcare services for non-emergent, minor care services 7 DAYS A WEEK. Offering business hours that are open late during the week and availablilty on the weekends, we feel we are partnering with ReadyCare is open outside Palouse Medical’s office hours, in the evenings and on the weekends.
Our ReadyCare team always strives to deliver outstanding patient care in a timely manner; however, due to the nature of the types of patient concerns we see in ReadyCare, there may be a longer than normal wait to be seen. ReadyCare is a walk-in-clinic, so no appointment is necessary. Please be patient with us if you experience a longer wait and remember that there is an emergency or serious issue that is limiting provider availability.
