The Villages Health’s EZ-Care Clinic Offers Weekend Care to Current Patients

Convenient Weekend Care

The EZ-Care Clinic is now open on Sundays in addition to our Saturday hours, ensuring that you have access to quality care seven days a week. Located at our Creekside care center in Lake Sumter Landing, our most centralized location in The Villages® Community, the clinic is easily accessible for all primary care patients. All you have to do is give us a call and book your same day appointment.

Why Choose EZ Care

Our EZ-Care Clinic is designed to provide a seamless experience for our patients. Here’s why you should choose EZ-Care for your weekend medical needs:

Seamless Experience

Because we already have your up-to-date medical information on file, there’s no need for extra paperwork or time-consuming administrative processes. You can focus entirely on your health without the added stress of filling out forms or providing medical history that we’ve already documented.

Cost Effective Care

Visits to the EZ-Care Clinic are billed like any other visit to The Villages Health. For most primary care patients, this means no additional co-pay, depending on your insurance coverage. This approach is significantly more affordable than visits to urgent care clinics or emergency rooms, which can cost anywhere from $25 to $500 per visit.

Nurse Helpline for Immediate Assistance

When you’re not feeling your best, our Nurse Helpline is a quick and convenient way to get medical advice. Here’s how it works:

Access to Your Medical History

You will speak with a registered nurse who has access to your medical history. This allows for informed and personalized advice tailored to your specific health needs.

Guidance and Support

The nurse can help you decide on the best course of action. This might include recommending an over-the-counter remedy, calling in a refill for an existing medication, scheduling a same-day appointment, or advising a visit to the EZ-Care Clinic.

Comprehensive Care for Various Needs

From sudden aches and pains to unexpected health issues, the EZ-Care Clinic provides comprehensive care for a wide range of acute medical concerns. Here are some of the conditions we commonly treat:
