    Owensboro Health is excited to announce the expansion of the Sports Medicine Walk-In Clinic hours to include Saturdays, beginning August 3. The clinic will now offer walk-in hours from 8 to 11 a.m. Monday through Saturday at the Pleasant Valley Medical Building, 1301 Pleasant Valley Road, Suite 500B.

    This extension is particularly beneficial for Friday night athletes who may experience injuries during games and for those who find it difficult to come in on Monday mornings or prefer to avoid the Emergency Department.

    "After continuous years of providing successful walk-in coverage at our Owensboro location, we are thrilled to extend our services to better serve our community,” Melissa Hoffer, Orthopedics Associate Director at Owensboro Health, said. “It allows us to provide timely care for athletes and other patients so they receive the attention they need without delay. We aim to make quality orthopedic and sports medicine care as accessible and convenient as possible for everyone in our community."

    The Sports Medicine Walk-In Clinic is designed to assist with emergencies like sprained joints and minor bone fractures, providing access to advanced orthopedic and sports medicine care when it’s needed most. Patients ages five and up are welcome, whether they are new or established, and you don’t have to be an athlete to be treated. The clinic sees walk-in patients for various conditions, including:

    • Breaks
    • Carpal Tunnel
    • Concussions
    • Sore Joints
    • Sprains

    If you feel your injury is an emergency and needs immediate attention, please call 911 or go to the emergency department.
