Greene County residents now have a larger, more convenient option for non‑emergency medical care. WVU Medicine completed an expansion of its Urgent Care clinic at the Waynesburg Outpatient Center in late September, adding treatment rooms and extending operating hours to better meet local demand.
Expanded space and extended hours
The newly enlarged clinic offers walk‑in appointments seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., except on Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. By increasing the square footage, staff can see patients more efficiently while preserving the personalized, compassionate service the community expects.
Services available
Patients can receive care for a range of minor conditions, including coughs, colds, flu, infections, rashes, sprains, strains and minor fractures. The clinic also provides on‑site lab and imaging services, vaccinations, and sports physicals. When a condition requires specialty care, physicians can quickly refer patients to other WVU Medicine facilities, ensuring continuity of treatment within the same health system.
Why the expansion matters
Greene County’s growing population and limited primary‑care availability have increased the need for timely, local treatment options. The expanded urgent‑care site reduces travel time for residents who might otherwise drive to larger cities for similar services. It also eases the burden on primary‑care physicians by handling non‑emergency cases that do not require a scheduled appointment.
Community impact
Local leaders have praised the investment as a step toward stronger health infrastructure in the county. By keeping care close to home, the clinic supports families’ ability to maintain work and school schedules without lengthy absences. The addition of more treatment rooms also creates a modest number of new jobs for nurses, medical assistants and support staff.
What to expect
Walk‑in patients are encouraged to arrive early, as the clinic can become busy during peak hours. No appointment is needed, but patients should bring a valid photo ID and insurance information, if applicable. For those without insurance, the clinic offers self‑pay rates and can assist with navigating financial assistance programs.
WVU Medicine’s continued investment in Greene County reflects its broader commitment to delivering high‑quality, accessible health care throughout West Virginia. The expanded urgent‑care clinic stands as a tangible example of that promise, giving residents a reliable option for prompt treatment when they need it most.
