Strongsville Recreation Center Opens Nurse Clinic

A new nurse clinic opened February at the Strongsville Recreation and Senior Center, serving guests and residents of the city.

The clinic is the result of a partnership between the City of Strongsville and Southwest General.

“The city is not only concerned about the health and wellness of its employees, but of the greater community of Strongsville as well,” said Steve Kilo, the Human Resources Director at Strongsville Recreation and Senior Center. “We will continue to take measures that give us the opportunity to positively impact the health of the community, and our ongoing partnership with Southwest provides us with opportunities to do just that.”

People looking for treatment in a pinch can simply walk into the clinic.

“If you don’t want to wait for an appointment with your doctor, come on in,” said Alicia Blacksmith, the nurse practitioner at the clinic.

The nurse clinic released a full list of services provided in addition to treatment for minor illnesses and injuries such as strep throat and sprains. The nurse clinic can provide blood pressure screening, pregnancy assessment, physicals and TB testing. The clinic serves people ages three and above.

According to the clinic, most insurances are accepted, but those uninsured can get general treatment for a $75 fee. Other services vary on cost.

The Southwest General’s Nurse Clinic at Strongsville Recreation Center is open Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Tuesday and Thursday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
