With summer beach season officially here, the Northwell Health Immediate Care Centers in Ocean Beach, Cherry Grove and Saltaire locations are now open through Labor Day.
This is Northwell’s 11th year offering medical care at Ocean Beach, 10th year at Cherry Grove and fourth year at Saltaire.
A Northwell Health medical professional will be available at each of these locations seven days a week:
- Monday-Thursday: 9-11am and 4-6pm
- Friday: 4-6pm
- Saturday-Sunday: 9-11am and 4-6pm
If someone requires treatment outside of those hours or a higher level of care, patients can call emergency numbers and police will direct them to the appropriate medical care, including nearby South Shore University Hospital in Bay Shore. Alternatively, patients can use Northwell’s ER on Demand program to receive a virtual exam, diagnosis and care navigation quickly and easily from the comfort of home.

What is an immediate care center?
Immediate care centers are medical facilities that offer comprehensive, onsite, quality treatment for non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries that don't necessitate a visit to an emergency department. All of Northwell's immediate care centers are staffed with experts in the field of emergency medicine, dedicated to offering exceptional service and care to all patients.
The conditions that can be treated at Northwell's three immediate care centers include, but are not limited to:
- Minor injuries and burns;
- Sprains and strains;
- Allergic reactions;
- Mild asthma;
- Rashes and skin irritations, including poison oak, poison ivy and insect bites.
