Rural Health Clinic

Shirley MurphyIn an effort to make healthcare available to as many people as possible, Lawrence Health Services offers rural health clinics. A clinic is strategically located where healthcare is needed and will be utilized. Hours of the health clinic are determined by use of the facility.

What is a rural health clinic?

A rural health clinic is a special clinic that is staffed by a registered nurse practitioner with advanced education and clinical training in a special healthcare area. The nurse practitioner is recognized as an expert nurse and serves as the regular healthcare provider for children and adults during health and illness. The practitioner has strict supervision by a physician.

Do you have a choice between seeing the nurse practitioner or the physician?

Yes, the nurse practitioner is available on a regular basis and the physician has a special time each week when he/she sees patients in the clinic.

Why choose a nurse practitioner?

More and more people are choosing nurse practitioners as their regular healthcare provider because nurse practitioners are health professionals who:

  • provide individualized care, focusing not only on health problems, but also on the effects health problems have on people and their families
  • explain the details of health problems, medications, and other topics to help people fully understand how to take care of themselves
  • ask about people's worries and concerns about their health and their healthcare needs
  • emphasize wellness
