Dan Repacholli and Emma McBride MP jointly inaugurated the Cessnock Medicare Urgent Care Clinic today. Located at 275 Vincent Street, this clinic is now accessible 7 days a week, from 8am to 6pm, with just your Medicare Card required for entry.
This development is set to alleviate the long waiting times in both Cessnock and Maitland Hospital emergency departments. The clinic will be staffed by highly trained doctors and nurses, offering prompt care without the need for prior appointments.
The Cessnock Medicare Urgent Care Clinic represents a significant step towards fulfilling the Albanese Government’s commitment to provide easier access to urgent medical care for Hunter residents while simultaneously reducing the strain on local hospitals.
