The Clinic at Wal-Mart, operated by Heartland Clinic, will be closing on Friday, October 31, 2014. Their new hours until the closing date are Monday – Wednesday and Friday, 8 a.m. – 4 p.m.; Saturday 8 a.m. – 6 p.m.; Sunday 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. and closed on Thursday.

The future of health care is the patient-centered health home, which provides the highest quality of health care, with the most efficient cost. Heartland Health continues to fulfill its mission of delivering the right care, at the right time, in the right place, at the right cost with outcomes second to none. The patient/provider relationship is important. Seeing providers for one-time periodic illnesses, does not translate into effective continuity of care, nor the detection of possible preventive wellness interventions for the good of the patient well-being. We have primary care providers accepting new patients within our patient-centered health homes. To find a new provider, please call 800.447.1098.

In order to address changing, health-care delivery within our community, Heartland Health and Mosaic Life Care continues to develop key partnerships with other health-care providing agencies and institutions, as well as evaluate, plan and develop better patient access to services. Our Urgent Care, located at 1115 N. Belt Highway, is available for urgent needs, 9 a.m. – 7 p.m. Monday – Saturday and 9 a.m. – 2 p.m. on Sunday.

As these shifts occur to improve quality of delivery, the patient experience as well as to control costs, staffing needs also shift. Heartland Health as an employer of choice, values all caregivers. The Heartland Health Talent Agency works closely with all caregivers to help them achieve their education and workplace, goals and dreams. During this time of transition, the Talent Agency will be expanding their efforts, focused on helping to retain and expand, work and educational opportunities for caregivers.
