IU Health Arnett Family Medicine Residency offers extended hours

Lafayette, Ind. – Indiana University Health Arnett Family Medicine Residency is now offering extended hours to provide walk-in, primary care services. This temporary practice expansion will provide additional access to same-day appointments for our patients and the community.

The IU Health Arnett Family Medicine Residency Primary Care Walk-In is open Monday through Friday from 6 pm to 10 pm at the IU Health Arnett Hospital Medical Office Building, 5177 McCarty Lane, Lafayette - Entrance 5.

"A strong foundation of primary care is critical to maintaining good health. Primary care serves people throughout their lives, for everything from school-mandated health checkups to managing multiple chronic conditions, but it remains inaccessible to far too many,” said Kishan Patel, MD, Associate Chief Medical Officer for ambulatory clinic practice.

Walk-in services are same-day and require no appointment.

Walk-in services are designed to be convenient and treat common conditions such as:

• Pediatric and adult cold symptoms such as cough, sore throat and earache
• Sinus infections
• Insect and animal bites
• Problems or pain with urination
• Rashes/Sunburns
• Cuts and lacerations
• Splinter or foreign body removal
• Sprains and strains
• Ear and eye injuries
• Minor burns
• Headaches
• Allergies

Patients experiencing a life-threatening medical condition should go to a nearby emergency room or call 911.
