New Walk-In Care at Helen Hunt

We are pleased to announce that Walk-In Care Services at Helen Hunt Health Center are now better than ever thanks to a recent expansion and renovation of the space, as well as the addition of new acute care staff! To improve patient access and convenience, the space was recently doubled in size to include six exam rooms and a much larger waiting area, located adjacent to PCHC’s on-site pharmacy. Today at noon, we held a Grand Reopening of our Walk-In Care at HHHC, with several speakers including Ken Schmidt, PCHC President and CEO, David Mahan, City Council Chair, City of Old Town, Mark Delcourt, HHHC Practice Director, Kay Nash, Lead Clinician for HHHC Walk-In Care, and Dr. Susan Cheff, HHHC Medical Director.
