1/30/2024
On January 2, 2024, First Choice Immediate Care Adair celebrated their sixth anniversary. Molly B. O’Neal, DNP, APRN; Alison Claunch, APRN; Justin Payton, APRN; Beth Crabtree, PA-C, Stephanyie Carter, APRN; and Abigayl Colon, APRN provide care 7 days a week/365 days a year. That is 2,191 days of accessible healthcare in a row!
Our First Choice Immediate Care facilities offer treatment to patients with non-emergency issues who are considering a trip to the ER. A medical provider is always on site, so patients can be sure that treatment will be professional and with as short a wait time as possible.
First Choice provides treatment for a wide range of common illnesses and injuries that are not considered life-threatening. Common illnesses treated include allergies, sinuses, cold, flu, cough, bronchitis, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, sore throat, and strep throat. Injuries treated include cuts, scrapes, eye and ear injuries, sprains, and strains. Sport physicals, flu shots, and diagnostic lab testing are also offered.
“We are so thankful for the CFMC staff for their compassion in caring for our patients on weekends and holidays and providing excellent care,” stated Sam Brown, Chief Clinical Officer.
CFMC also has a second First Choice in McCreary County with a third site opening in Lincoln County later this year.
