Construction on Bolivar Drive has been progressing, and the WellNow location will begin accepting patients as soon as this summer. That expected opening has been pushed back from a previous hope to open in the spring.
“Due to weather delays during construction, we are now anticipating a Summer 2022 opening,” said Annie Keller, Manager of Public Relations for WellNow Urgent Care.
The location, which previously was home to the Lighthouse Restaurant, will provide care for non-life-threatening injuries, as well as treatment for coughs and colds. Each site will also have x-ray technology and its own on-site lab testing as well.
With the opening of a new facility, jobs will be added to the area. The number of employees is unknown at this point, but the opportunity to apply is already available for those interested.
She stated, “We don’t have plans for a job fair at this time, but we’ve already started posting open roles for the new Bradford location on our website, with more to be added in the coming months.”
The website currently lists an opening for a physician assistant or nurse practitioner, which was posted 20 days ago.
