ORTHO URGENT CARE OPENS
IN SHADELANDS
|
On December 3,
Muir Orthopaedic Specialists
opened an innovative orthopedic urgent care center,
Orthopaedic Express by MOS
, located within their office at 2405 Shadelands Drive, that specializes in orthopedic injuries and emergencies with same-day and walk-in appointments.
Designed to specifically treat musculoskeletal conditions, Orthopaedic Express provides high quality orthopedic care without long wait times and expensive emergency room visits.
Orthopaedic Express medical professionals evaluate and treat a wide range of orthopedic issues including sprains and strains, fractures, ligament tears, cuts and lacerations, dislocations, aches and pains, and sports and work injuries.
Orthopaedic Express does not treat non-musculoskeletal conditions, such as coughs, colds, fevers, and rashes. For those issues, patients are referred to existing general urgent care facilities.
Providers at Muir Orthopaedic Specialists understand that injuries often happen unexpectedly and not necessarily during convenient business hours. They see a great need for after hours care and want to be there for their patients and the community when they are needed the most.

SUPPORTING PEOPLE IN CRISIS
|
211
is the national, toll-free, three-digit phone number to call 24 hours per day for help and information about local health and social services. It enables people in crisis to find valuable aid and resources in their community quickly and easily.
• Studies show that people seeking services call seven to eight numbers before finding the right one, or they give up before getting the help they need.
• 211 eliminates guessing and misdirected calls, and bilingual counselors are available.
•
Contra Costa Crisis Center
is authorized by the California Public Utilities Commission as the sole provider of 211 service in Contra Costa County. Authorization doesn’t include funding, however, which is why the Crisis Center raises money in order to support these services.
One way to make a difference in the lives of neighbors this holiday season (and all year) is by supporting the
Contra Costa Crisis Center
today.
