MedExpress Urgent Care is coming to the city.
City council on Wednesday by 7-0 vote approved a site plan submitted on behalf of the Morgantown, W.Va.-based chain of walk-in, urgent care clinics located in eight Eastern states.
The city planning commission previously signed off on the proposal.
MedExpress Urgent Care centers offer walk-in treatment for illnesses and minor injuries seven days per week, as well as physicals, laboratory services, vaccinations and other procedures typically available from a primary-care physician.
The new clinic would be located on Walnut Street in Christy Park, next to Bottom Dollar. It would replace the building once occupied by Gilbert Lumber. Tax records indicate the property is owned by the Blairsville-based parent company of Tri-Star Ford and its related auto dealerships.
An employee of the engineering company developing the site plan said this week that no timetable has yet been set for demolition of the old building or construction of the new one.
According to its website, the privately owned company currently operates more than 50 clinics in Pennsylvania, including locations in Monroeville, Pleasant Hills and North Huntingdon Twp.
The McKeesport clinic will be MedExpress' first Mon Valley location. The company's 100th clinic opened last week in Jeannette.
