CareWell Blog, week of April 22, 2013
Despite a cold and damp morning, the dedication of a new CareWell Urgent Care Center in Billerica went on as planned on Saturday, April 20, with one small exception: guests, staff, speakers, and members of the traditional Irish musician group, Rossacroo-na-loo, moved inside for the pleasant and somewhat comfortable event.
Rev. Bruce C. Taylor, Minister, First Parish Unitarian Church in Billerica, offered a blessing for those who heal and those who will come to the new center at 510 Boston Road to be healed. Special prayers were included for those recovering from the Boston Marathon explosions on April 15. Renee Lohman, President and CEO of CareWell welcomed the group and spoke of the increased access to healthcare the new center will provide. Community leaders who spoke included State Rep. Marc Lombardo and Caroline Catlender, Executive Director of the Billerica Community Alliance. Dave Gagliardi, chairman of the Billerica Board of Selectmen also attended, as did Doris Pearson, Vice President of the Billerica Community Alliance Board, and Monica Mullen, Secretary.

Urgent Care is neighborhood health care available when needed, without an appointment. CareWell physicians are always Board certified, and a physician is always on site. CareWell centers provide quality healthcare in a comfortable environment when someone has an episodic, but still urgent, non-life-threatening illness or injury. In addition, CareWell can help with health screenings, certain physicals, vaccinations and flu shots. CareWell will work with local employers to develop health programs for their workplace.
CareWell Urgent Care at 510 Boston Road, Billerica will be open 7 days a week; Monday to Friday from 8 am – 8 pm; Saturday from 9 am to 6 pm and Sunday from 10 am-4 pm. The main telephone number is 978-362-2443.
