Portola Medical Clinic expands services; now offers walk-in urgent access

By Paul Bruning

DHA Director of Clinics

Eastern Plumas Health Care features three Rural Health Clinics in Portola, Graeagle and Loyalton. Each of these clinics offer Primary Care services. As demands for urgent sick or injury visits have increased, as well as demands for the same services from individuals visiting the area, the Portola Medical Clinic is now offering an Urgent Access and Walk-in Urgent Access Clinic. 

As the director of clinics, I’m excited to announce the Clinical Team for the Urgent Access Clinic will be comprised of Dana Culp, Nurse Practitioner, April Downs, clinical support, and Rebecca Mason, clerical support. 

Patients can call ahead for an appointment or simply walk-in and register. Those patients who walk-in may have a wait, depending on the numbers of patients present for the Urgent Access Clinic. Services provided within the Urgent Access Clinic are consistent with those offered by any of Eastern Plumas Health Care medical offices. This Urgent Access Clinic offers next day, same day, and walk-in availability.  

Clinic hours are:

Monday: 8 am – 4 pm
Tuesday: noon – 7 pm
Wednesday: 8 am – 4 pm
Thursday: noon – 7 pm
Friday: 8 am – 4 pm
