As of March 4, 2024, the W.W. Hastings Urgent Care and Pharmacy has moved to the first floor of the Cherokee Nation Outpatient Health Center (CNOHC) and has transitioned to the Same Day Clinic (SDC).
The Same Day Clinic is designed to provide access to medical care on short notice. The Same Day Clinic practitioners have shorter time slots than the Primary Care visits that are scheduled regularly, which allows patients to be seen faster for minor medical needs.
Operating hours are Monday through Friday 7:30am – 6:00pm excluding holidays observed by Cherokee Nation.
To schedule an appointment, call 539-234-1270.
Walk-ins are welcome.
