The CORE Institute Offering Orthopedic Urgent Care to Aid Community in Orthopedic Access During COVID-19 Crisis

---

The CORE Institute has announced that it will now be providing orthopedic urgent care services at locations throughout Arizona and Michigan in order to help ease the burden that is likely to be placed on hospitals in the coming weeks as they brace for an influx of new patients with COVID-19 related symptoms. Each site is equipped with:

• Onsite X-Ray
• Casting
• Splinting
• Suture kits

Our Urgent Ortho’s are staffed by the area’s top orthopedic specialists and will treat patients on a walk-in basis with no appointment needed.

Their expert team will treat all orthopedic injuries including:

• Sports injuries
• Sprains and strains
• Fractures
• Back and neck injuries
• Hand and wrist injuries
• Shoulder injuries
• Knee injuries
• Hip injuries
• Any other bone, joint or muscle injuries
• Minor lacerations
• Wound Care

“As part of our continued commitment to our community we felt it our obligation, both to the residents of the Phoenix and Michigan area and the local hospital systems, to offer our services in the most beneficial way possible in this time of need,” said The CORE Institute CEO, Dr. David Jacofsky. “As the number of COVID-19 cases is likely to grow, hospitals will need to dedicate more specialists, equipment and hospital beds to these patients. We want to make sure we free up these hospitals to let them do what they do best. By treating patients with orthopedic needs in our clinics and not in the hospital Emergency Rooms, we can help them conserve these invaluable resources and simultaneously protect patients.” For more information, please call 866.974.2673 If any of the below apply to you, and you have an URGENT condition, such as recent surgery, recent trauma, or uncontrolled pain and swelling, please call our Clinical Triage Line during business hours at 866.974.2673 option #3 for further evaluation and instruction.
