LCO Community Health Center
Press Statement
We are excited to announce that the LCO Health Center will begin its move to our new location on April 7th! Below is a breakdown of the anticipated reopen dates for specific departments. Please note that the following are subject to change. For the latest updates, please refer to the LCOCHC website, lcohc.com.
· Medical Services: Walk-in services will be available from 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM, starting Wednesday, April 9th, at our new facility. During this time, we will temporarily be using the urgent care area for walk-ins. Please note that our lab department may be unavailable on April 9th and 10th, so only basic medical care will be provided on those days. Radiology will also be unavailable the first week of the move.
· Dental Services: Dental will continue providing emergency care at the old clinic until the new clinic is fully equipped to handle dental emergencies. There should be no interruption in emergency dental services. We will update the newsletter and post signs on the door once we are ready to take emergency dental patients at the new facility, which is expected to be within the first week of the move.
· Pharmacy: Beginning April 7th the pharmacy will be in the process of transferring and setting up their new robotic system and computer software. This setup will take at least 3.5 days, with limited operations expected to begin after 1 PM on April 10th. During walk-in operation hours new prescriptions can be picked up at Marketplace Pharmacy. We are working closely with Marketplace Pharmacy to ensure that the cost of prescriptions is covered by the LCO Clinic. Please note that current prescriptions cannot be transferred to Marketplace and must be refilled and picked up at the LCO pharmacy on or before April 7th, 2025.
· Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) and Bizhiki Wellness Center: Both MAT and Bizhiki Wellness Center will be open and operational at the new facility beginning Wednesday, April 9th. Crisis services will be available at the Bizhiki Wellness Center April 7th and 8th. In case of a crisis during this transition: Please contact the Sawyer County Crisis Line at 1-866-317-9362, or dial 911 for emergencies.
· In-Service Safety Training: The clinic will be closed during the following hours for in-service safety training:
o Monday, April 14th: 12:00 PM – 4:30 PM
o Tuesday, April 15th: 12:00 PM – 4:30 PM
o Wednesday, April 16th: 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM
To ensure you have the medication and care you need during our closure, we encourage you to talk to your doctor about getting a 60 or 90-day refill before we close. This will help ensure you are well-stocked while we settle into our new space.
For any questions regarding refills, please contact your provider or pharmacy at 715-638-5146.
