Elite Urgent Care and Family Health Family Nurse Practitioner
Elite Urgent Care and Family Health is a dual-model clinic located within the Elite Health Center at 820 W. 42nd St., Suite 2300, in Scottsbluff.
We like to say we are the newest member of the valley’s healthcare community. We are a privately owned clinic that serves two purposes, thus the dual-model.
We accept appointments as well as walk-ins and manage urgent care visits for illness, injuries, allergy shots, sports physicals and X-rays, and we also manage chronic illnesses like high blood pressure, diabetes, hypothyroidism, and more.
We have a Clia-waived lab for rapid testing of things like urinary infections, influenza testing, and testing for strep, mono, RSV and more. We also have digital X-ray and rapid over-read services for the X-rays. As a certified family nurse practitioner, I can see people of all ages.
As a healthcare team member in the Panhandle for the last 15 years, I noticed a gap in care for many of our patients/community members. Oftentimes, there was confusion between services in an urgent care versus primary care clinic. Combining the two leads to less confusion for the patient, more continuity in care, and development of relationships between patient and provider like the good old fashioned medicine of yesteryear.
My goal is to provide quality care, both urgent and primary care, for our patients by keeping it all under one roof. I am so excited to present our clinic to the community and give them options in healthcare.
I hope that patients will be excited about the environment we have created also. The building itself is one of the most beautiful and modern buildings constructed in this area.
