Wakulla County Chamber of Commerce Updates and News
Business after Hours
at Wakulla Urgent Care & Diagnostic Center
We had a very warm welcome by Dr. Keen, Valerie Russell APRN, Tiffany Northington APRN, Lisa Riickert Business Manager and staff at Wakulla Urgent Care and Diagnostic Center at this month’s first ever masked Business after Hours. This event had been scheduled last December and was originally scheduled for March but due to our current circumstance we had to postpone, and appreciated the clinic for sheltering us under a tent as well as providing complimentary masks. These events are held by our member businesses not only to socialize but to share their services and educate us on their offerings. Wakulla Urgent Care is an urgent and primary care provider for patients of all ages. Some of us already knew about some of the services offered at Wakulla Urgent Care from a previous event but most of us were surprised and intrigued by the services offered at this clinic right here in Crawfordville. Dr. Keen and Staff took us on a tour of the facility in small groups and we received quite an education on the services offered. Wakulla Urgent Care offers diagnostic testing, EKG, Pulmonary Function test physicals, overnight oximetry, Versa Cardio testing employment drug screening, disability exams, DOT physicals, flu shots and other immunizations, minor injury treatment, health maintenance for chronic diseases and more. The clinic is also a LabCorp and Quest ($10 fee) drawing site for Wakulla and surrounding areas. The clinic offers an array of in house/rapid testing such as for flu, strep, pregnancy, blood sugar checks, mononucleosis, and urinalysis. They also utilize other labs for additional testing such as DNA swabs for gene testing to see which medicines are most effective and least effective, respiratory infections panels, gastrointestinal panels, COVID -19 testing and more. Also provided are injections like antibiotic shots, steroid shots, anti - nausea, pain relief, muscle relaxer and B12 vitamins. Shortly, they will also offer IV fluids, Myers cocktail (vitamins and nutrients), and glutathione (antioxidant) through IV or IM. Teaming up with Body Image LLL they also offer services that piqued our interest - safe medically supervised weight management, SPA services and regenerative medicine. The Far Infra red sauna is the latest in sauna technology and aids in weight loss. Laser like Lipo is an effective safe way of losing targeted fat by shrinking fat cells. This along with proper dieting and exercise may make the results almost permanent. Also offered are bio-identical hormone replacement, Botox treatments, Mesotherapy, PRP and Hydro facials. Ruth Keen and Alma Perritt are both licensed estheticians and would love to share more information about their services with you. The PRP Therapy (platelet rich plasma therapy) was most intriguing, showing results in just 1 to 3 months’ time. Your blood is drawn and put into a centrifuge to separate the platelets, serum, and blood cells. The platelet rich plasma is then injected to stimulate cell regeneration - and is most used to treat acne, age spots, large pores, wrinkles, eye bags, dull skin, and hair loss. This however is mainly used to help in the regeneration of damaged joints such as knees and shoulders. If you live in Wakulla, know that you have local options.
