Western Sierra Medical Clinic expands urgent care hours, pla

Western Sierra Medical Clinic has expanded its urgent care hours, a move it said was motivated by increased need.
The clinic’s new hours are 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday. Previously, it had closed at 5 p.m. each day.
Dr. Christina Lasich, chief medical officer with Western Sierra Medical Clinic, said both patient surveys and the volume of after-hours calls received were indicators of the increased need for urgent care access.
Possible factors, according to Lasich, include difficulty getting to the clinic before 5 p.m. due to work or school schedules, as well as limited access to urgent care for those enrolled in Medicaid or Medi-Cal insurance, a group she said has grown as some people lost jobs or faced other financial hardship during the pandemic.
