After the Oswego Community Hospital closed in February, access to health care is finally coming back to Oswego. Labette health said they would open a temporary clinic to help fill the gap, as that clinic is now set to open on April 1st. Construction workers have been fighting the weather to build a wheelchair ramp for Labette Health's new Clinic and Express Care. Inside, they have been putting the finishing touches to make the building feel more like a clinic before it opens on April first. This will play as a temporary home until Labette Health can build a permanent clinic in the community.
The clinic is located at 608 Commercial St. in Oswego and will be open Monday through Friday 8 am until 8 pm, and Saturdays from 8 am until 2 pm. Officials say several people have already made appointments. If you want to do the same, just call 620-795-2340.
