Winona Health establishes a "flu only" clinic
Winona Health has announced that its Urgent Care Clinic is now the Flu Clinic seeing only patients with flu symptoms. Patients looking for other urgent care issues are being asked to go to the main clinic building on Mankato Avenue. The change took effect today and will remain in effect until further notice. Winona Health vice–president of Patient Care Services, Sarah Gabrick, said the change will help control the spread of the flu. To accommodate walk–in patients, Winona Clinic is extending its hours to Monday through Thursday 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Friday through Sunday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Winona Clinic is prepared to take walk–in patients throughout the day.
