Butler Health System Opens Urgent Care Center

Written By: Jillian Lagner
he Butler County Chamber of Commerce welcomes Butler Health System as they open their first urgent care center in Butler, BHS FastERcare, located at Butler Commons. The center is targeted toward the non-emergent, walk-in patient. BHS FastERcare is different from other urgent care centers since there will always be a trained physician on-site. The cost of receiving treatment at BHS FastERcare will be the price of seeing a specialty physician--much less than a visit to the emergency room. In addition to urgent care, x-ray and lab services will also be offered seven days a week from 9:00 a.m. until 9:00 p.m. For more information on BHS FastERcare, call 724.284.4174.
