The MedExpress urgent care center in Leominster has closed after three years and it will reopen Tuesday under new ownership.
The facility at 241 North Main St. (Route 12), across from UMass Memorial HealthAlliance-Clinton Hospital’s Leominster campus, shut down Dec. 31. It first opened in March 2018.
Annie Jamieson, a spokesperson for Pennsylvania-based MedExpress, did not provide a reason for the closure.
“It has been a privilege to serve patients in the Leominster community,” she said.
The building will not be empty for long, though, because on Tuesday it will become the first location in northern Worcester County of ReadyMED, a chain of urgent care centers operated by Reliant Medical Group.
