Geisinger Bellefonte to Open Urgent Care Clinic

Geisinger’s new Bellefonte facility is ready to add walk-in care to its services.

The ConvenientCare walk-in clinic at Geisinger Bellefonte, 226 Buckaroo Lane, will open on Monday, March 10. The clinic, which will be open every day except major holidays, will have six exam rooms staffed by three advanced practitioners for treatment of urgent, non-life-threatening medical needs.

ConvenientCare can address issues such as common illnesses, cuts requiring stitches, rashes, insect bites, allergies, sprains and ear, urinary and other infections.

“They’re ideal for anyone who can’t wait to see a primary care physician or who isn’t ill or injured enough to visit an emergency room,” Geisinger wrote in a news release.

The clinic also offers immunizations and physicals.

Geisinger Bellefonte ConvenientCare will be open 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. (last patient accepted at 7:45 p.m.) Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. (last patient accepted at 5:45 p.m.) Saturday and Sunday.

Patients can visit visit geisinger.org/urgentcare to see wait times and reserve a spot.

The new $15 million Geisinger Bellefonte location opened in November, relocating the health system’s primary care and urgent care offices in the Bellefonte area under one roof. The 23,000-square-foot building, located behind the Weis Markets plaza in Spring Township, has offered primary care, lab and imaging services since it opened.

Lab and radiology services are offered seven days a week for adult and pediatric patients. Self-scheduling is available through MyGeisinger by visiting geisinger.org/mygeisinger or by using the MyChart app to save a spot in line. Walk-ins are also welcome.
