To ensure the continuity of urgent care services in the greater Lincoln region, Littleton Regional Healthcare (LRH) will assume full ownership and management of the urgent care center located at 33 Railroad Street in Lincoln, NH, effective April 1, 2024. First opened in March of 2022, the center provides comprehensive urgent care and occupational health services to residents and visitors of Lincoln, Woodstock, and surrounding communities and has seen steadily rising volumes over the past two years.
The center was initially established as a joint venture between LRH and ClearChoiceMD Urgent Care. With this shift in ownership in April, LRH has committed to retaining all services that individuals in the region have become accustomed to receiving at the center.
“We want those who utilize this center, and those who may need to in the future, to know that we are committed to preserving this important regional access point for healthcare,” said Robert Nutter, LRH President and Chief Executive Officer. “The clinic was established to help address the underserved healthcare needs of this region, and based on its usage, we know how important it is to maintain these critical services in this location,” he added. The center currently provides physicals, vaccinations, testing, on-site imaging, and other medical services.
Since its inception, the center has been fully supported by the resources and specialties available at LRH and the continuity of care for the patients who rely on these services. It is not uncommon for patients to receive follow-up care in some form directly at LRH.
“Increasing access to healthcare is fundamental to our mission, and we will continue to address additional healthcare gaps and needs for those in Lincoln and the surrounding area through the center,” Nutter said. “While there are always outside factors that are beyond our control, we anticipate no disruption to operations at the center during this ownership transition.”
Those local to the area and use or pass by the Lincoln center will soon notice a new name with LRH branding and other physical updates to reflect the change. LRH opened its first urgent care center in 2019, which is embedded in its Littleton campus. The Lincoln site is one of many satellite clinic locations LRH operates throughout the greater White Mountains region.
