Urgent Care, Right Now
Kadlec introduced its new Urgent Care center at 7233West Deschutes Avenue in Kennewick.
It is open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day and no appointment is necessary.
“Our sole goal is to meet the medical needs of local residents promptly and compassion-
ately,” says Frank Newhouse, MD, Kadlec Urgent Care physician. “If your doctor’s office is
closed or you need to be seen immediately, experienced professionals are here to help
you feel better, faster.”
The center is staffed by two physicians, a nurse practitioner and several skilled urgent
care staff. It has diagnostic equipment and lab services on-site.
“We are right in the middle of the spectrum between a primary care clinic and an
emergency room,” explains Jennifer Brindle, MD, Kadlec Urgent Care physician. “Most
people instinctively know when they need to be seen quickly, but don’t really need to
go to Kadlec’s ED.”
Richland Clinic Relocates
Recently the Kadlec Clinic Richland Primary Care opened its doors at 1135 Jadwin Avenue,
much closer to the Medical Center campus. The new location is larger and has expanded
services, and there is ample adjacent parking. The phone number remains the same,
(509) 942-3300.
