Press release
Batavia- Rochester Regional Health has made the decision to close the Batavia Urgent Care at the Jerome Medical Center effective August 1, as it prepares to offer reimagined urgent care services in the Batavia Medical Campus on Oak Orchard Rd. opening next year. Our community’s health and wellbeing is extremely important to us, so while that new four story, 115,000-square-foot state-of-the-art building is under construction, RRH continues to offer urgent care services through primary care offices, telemedicine and at United Memorial Medical Center.
Every staff member from the Batavia Urgent Care is moving into another position within the RRH system while the organization works through the Urgent Care redesign.
“Rochester Regional Health and United Memorial envision a future healthcare model with many complimentary services under one roof that provide reliable high quality care,” said United Memorial Medical Center President Dan Ireland. “Existing demands for staff and resources require new thoughts on how to operate services like Urgent Care. Now is the time to reflect on the future of healthcare and thoughtfully redesign the model of care that will serve our community in the years to come.”
· Primary care offices remain open, and providers aware of the changes ahead are prepared to see any patients with urgent needs
· RRH ExpressCare offers patients immediate, on-demand virtual appointments with providers through patients’ MyCare accounts. https://www.rochesterregional.org/services/telemedicine
· UMMC’s Emergency Department as always, is ready 24/7 to see any patients with true medical emergencies
In the coming days and weeks, patients will receive letters with more information and there will be new signs at the Batavia Urgent Care site about the changes.
The new Batavia Medical Campus building is slated to open in the Spring of 2023.
One can see it is all about the money and no concern for the public. Usually a line forming at 6:00 (now 6:30) of people to get blood tests and more. This is really getting ridiculous.
Not good my insurance doesn’t cover the urgent care by Home Depot and it’s $50 if I go to the ER but covered if I’m admitted.
Why can’t the workers stay there till the other place it built and ready to move it makes no sense!
How are patients supposed to get out there, is there going to be public free transportation to send people there who don’t own vehicles?
