Geisinger has opened an orthopaedic urgent care clinic in East Pennsboro Township.

The clinic is located at Geisinger Holy Spirit Orthopaedics, 429 N. 21st St. and is open 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday with no appointment necessary. Eventually the clinic will be open on Saturdays.

The clinics provide specialized orthopaedic care for common injuries like a strain, a sprain or a simple fracture. Children and adults with minor injuries that occurred in the last 72 hours can visit the orthopaedic urgent care locations.

Employees at the clinic can evaluate and treat injuries, perform X-rays, apply splints and casts and schedule follow-up appointments. Once a patient is seen by physician assistants at the clinic, they are scheduled for follow-up care as needed.

People who have severe fractures and dislocations will need treatment in the emergency room.

In addition to the new clinic in the Camp Hill area, Geisinger Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine has also opened clinics in the Danville, Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, Lewistown and Port Matilda areas. The clinics opened in April.

Last year, Geisinger Holy Spirit Orthopaedics relocated to the facility on 21st Street near Geisinger Holy Spirit’s Spirit Urgent Care facility and Geisinger Holy Spirit hospital.

Penn State Health is expected to officially acquire Holy Spirit Hospital in October from Geisinger.
