Effective today, Schneck Urgent Care, located at 1130 Medical Place, Seymour, is temporarily transitioning to a respiratory illness clinic.

The clinic will be dedicated to the triage and treatment of patients with respiratory illnesses, including COVID-19.

Schneck Urgent Care will continue to care for patients presenting with nonrespiratory urgent needs; however, to minimize cross-contamination, these patients will be seen at Schneck Primary Care Jackson Park next to Schneck Urgent Care.

Patients with symptoms that include fever, cough and difficulty breathing should first call Schneck’s Coronavirus Hotline at 812-524-4266 to speak with trained health care staff and be advised on next steps. Calling ahead remains extremely important to limit exposing others to disease, such as COVID-19.

The respiratory clinic and Schneck Urgent Care will be open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
