    FRANKLIN, MA, August 02, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- MedPost Urgent Care continues to broaden access to urgent care services -- it opened its first clinic in Massachusetts on July 1, 2016.

Locations in Wayland and Northborough are also available for same-day service.

At MedPost, patients can be treated for both injuries and illnesses. The MedPost clinicians can treat a wide range of conditions from allergy complications to minor broken bones and burns. Additionally, centers offer annual checkups for preventative care, as well as vaccinations and in-house lab testing and diagnostics. If your child needs a school or sports physical, MedPost offers these services for $25 every day.

Core service offerings include urgent care, wellness, seasonal care and occupational health. Beyond MedPost's core service offerings, patients of the new Franklin urgent care center will also have the option to access the broader physician resources of MetroWest Medical Center or St. Vincent's Hospital if required.

"Providing convenient access to quality healthcare close to where people live and work is important to our customers," notes MedPost CEO Eric Enderle. "Our affiliations with MetroWest Medical Center and St. Vincent Hospital allow us to offer choices to our customers to streamline the coordination of care in instances where our customers would like us to facilitate follow-up treatment, or if a higher level of care is necessary. The goal is to treat patients with the most appropriate level of care for their particular condition and in the most cost-effective setting."

Patients also benefit from the convenience of online and mobile scheduling tools. At MedPost.com, customers can save a spot in line from home before walking in, or book an appointment for a future time or day from their computers or smartphones. MedPost centers also feature digital check-in tablets for a paperless, streamlined registration when patients arrive.
