For the past few years, the Dedham Medical Urgent Care Center affiliated with Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, located on the first floor of the Dedham Medical offices at 1177 Providence Highway (Rte. 1) in Norwood, has provided walk-in urgent care for patients of Atrius Health and BIDMC practices, as well as the public.
Beginning July 1, 2017, this jointly-operated center will be discontinued and will transition to an Atrius Health-operated program for Atrius Health patients only as part of the practice’s integrated urgent care service model.
Our new program at this location will be a weekday program (Monday through Friday, 8am-8pm) for adult Atrius Health patients (ages 18 and older), and all visits will be scheduled by appointment only. Walk-in urgent care will no longer be offered at this Norwood location.
Your continued care is very important to us, and below is important information for our patients and the community.
IF you are an Atrius Health patient (Dedham Medical Associates, Harvard Vanguard Medical Associates, Granite Medical Group, and PMG Physician Associates):
Please continue to call your Atrius Health primary care clinician’s office when you feel same day care may be necessary. If an appointment is required, your care team will make every effort to see you at your usual practice location or at another convenient Atrius Health office open that day for same day urgent care.
IF you are a BIDMC Primary Care Patient:
If you are currently a patient at a Beth Israel Deaconess HealthCare primary care practice or at HealthCare Associates at BIDMC, your PCP can help direct your care should you need medical attention. BIDMC offers advanced urgent care services at its Chestnut Hill location.
IF you are a past Walk-in Patient without an Atrius Health PCP:
At Atrius Health, we currently have more than 300 primary care clinicians welcoming new adult and pediatric patients at our practice locations, including our Dedham Medical offices in Norwood and Dedham. If you are interested in joining the practice or you have neighbors, family and friends who have utilized the walk-in center but are not currently patients of Atrius Health, we would be delighted to provide their ongoing primary care. Please visit www.atriushealth.org for more information or call our Patient Registration office at 1-800-249-1767.
We thank you for entrusting us with your walk-in urgent care needs for the past several years.
