Mercyhealth Announces New Location for Crystal Lake Urgent Care

CRYSTAL LAKE, Illinois—Mercyhealth is pleased to announce that its Crystal Lake urgent care has
relocated inside Mercyhealth Hospital and Physician Clinic–Crystal Lake, creating a more
seamless experience for patients seeking immediate medical attention. The new location brings urgent
care services under the same roof as the hospital, providing patients with easier access, enhanced
convenience, and a smoother continuum of care when additional testing or specialized services are
needed.
Whether patients are dealing with a minor illness, injury or unexpected health concern, Mercyhealth’s
experienced providers continue to deliver the same trusted, compassionate care patients have come to
expect, now in a location designed to make receiving treatment even easier.
“By relocating our urgent care inside Mercyhealth Hospital and Physician Clinic–Crystal Lake, we’re
making it simpler for patients to receive the care they need, when they need it,” said Tyler Killpack,
Mercyhealth vice president. “This move strengthens our commitment to providing coordinated,
patient-centered care while improving access for the communities we serve.”
Being located inside the hospital also allows for greater convenience should a patient’s condition
require additional imaging, laboratory services, or emergency care. If a higher level of care is needed,
patients can be connected more efficiently to the appropriate hospital services without traveling to
another location.
