Due to COVID-19 and the safety of our patients and staff, Fall River Health Services continues to implement a visitor policy. Fall River Health Services and Seven Sisters Living Center is opening up limited visitation as Fall River County Positivity rate is below 10%. Fall River Health Services requires all visits to be scheduled due to staffing and not more than 4 people at a time. Fall River Health Services and Seven Sisters Living Center visitation policies are subject to change based on the current situation. Schedule your appointments for SSLC at: 605.745.3460 or with the FRHS Hospital at 605.745.8910.

Walk-in Services

In addition to Primary Care Provider appointments, FRHS Rural Health Clinic is proud to offer walk-in services to our community members.

We all know that unplanned health issues arise last minute. To provide access to care in the appropriate setting and in a timely manner, the Rural Health Clinic has a designated walk-in Provider.

Monday thru Friday, our Primary Care Providers will have a limited number of same-day appointments available to also help meet those unplanned needs. Patients will be seen by their Primary Care Provider through same-day appointment availability. If your PCP is unavailable, walk-in services or booking an appointment on another day with your PCP, if medically appropriate, will be offered.

During the work-week, we suggest that patients call the clinic as soon as they have determined a medical need. This step will decrease wait times and increase the opportunity to see your Primary Care Provider.

Walk-in services and same-day appointments are designed for those unplanned medical needs. These services are to meet immediate needs that don't necessarily require follow-up or long-term management. Examples of such medical needs:

1. Sprains and strains
2. Coughs, colds, sore throat, fever
3. Urinary Tract Infections
4. Simple cuts or puncture wounds
5. Symptoms of the Flu
6. Sport injuries
7. Minor skin, eye, or ear irritations or infections

To ensure adequate time is scheduled to address your long-standing medical needs, scheduling appointments with your Primary Care Provider is essential.

Medical needs that are not appropriate for walk-in services or same-day appointments are as follows:

1. Issues related to chronic illnesses
2. Pain management initiation, maintenance or medication refills
3. Sleep apnea or sleep disorders
4. Annual visits of any type
5. Establishing care with a Primary Care Provider

Fall River Health Services Rural Health Clinic is committed to providing high quality, primary medical care for your entire family.
