A new urgent care facility is coming to Kennebec County. Following unanimous approval by the Augusta Planning Board, ConvenientMD Urgent Care will begin construction at the Turnpike Mall that borders Western Avenue and Whitten Road in Augusta. The new medical facility will be located in the corner of the parking lot at the shopping plaza.
This will provide Augusta with a third option for walk-in urgent care. The first one is the Maine General Express Care and the other is Concentra Urgent Care over on Capitol Street.
According to the Kennebec Journal, ConvenientMD is a Portsmouth based urgent care facility that currently has 26 locations throughout New England. The facility is aimed at treating patients who need urgent care, but who may not necessarily need an emergency room visit. The new facility will provide a suite of services including on-site X-ray, EKG, laboratory services and providing IVs to patients.

AUGUSTA As city officials are considering whether to relax zoning standards for the Riggs Brook Village district, the Augusta Planning Board has approved a couple’s proposal to put a mobile home there.
George and Rachel Jones had long planned to put a retirement home on a 3 1/2-acre lot in the district that will be deeded to them by family.
George Jones told the Planning Board on Tuesday his family had been preparing the lot for about two decades, including building a road.
