The health system's Limerick (Pa.) Urgent Care location will be reopening and also running seven days a week beginning March 16.
"Our goal is to ensure consistent and reliable access to urgent care services for our patients in each of our markets," the spokesperson said. "The strategic consolidation will eventually allow Tower Health Urgent Care to restore a 7-day model at our locations."
