Hunt Regional Offers Urgent-Care Clinic, At Lower Cost Than Emergency Room

Hunt Regional, Facebook

Kim Saenz, the director of the Hunt Regional Emergency Centers in Commerce and Quinlan, says urgent care clinics are a good alternative to the emergency room for non-life-threatening medical problems, and the cost of urgent-care treatment is much lower.  The use of urgent-care and "retail clinics" is growing rapidly.  The Hunt Regional Urgent Care clinic is at 3206 I-30 W, in the Kari Beth Crossing.

John Mark Dempsey is the host of the public interest program The Blacklands Café from KETR News. Dempsey is also the play-by-play announcer for Commerce Tigers Football on 88.9 FM and on ketr.org.
