The center’s actual opening is this Thursday at the Musser Street address located behind Gleason School. It may be used by Carson City families or school-aged children and medical appointments are available by calling 800-787-2568.

Center hours will be Tuesday and Thursday from 7 a.m. until 4 p.m., according to a Nevada Health Centers website posting. Services provided will include preventive health and wellness, well child checks, sick visits, sports physicals, immunizations and health management, according to Nevada Health Centers.

Most insurance is accepted, but Nevada Health Centers recommends people check with carriers to determine about providers’ list information.
