LEEDS–Fast Pace Health and the Leeds Chamber of Commerce held a grand opening ceremony for a new walk-in urgent care clinic in Leeds Tuesday morning.
The clinic, located at 1455 Ashville Road, features multiple exam rooms, an on-site lab, COVID-19 testing, and X-ray capabilities.
It also offers walk-in urgent, primary, and preventative health care services as well as scheduled services for behavioral, telehealth, and occupational health care needs.
“This is a big thing for Leeds,” said Leeds Mayor David Miller.
“11 years ago now, when I became mayor, we didn’t have any type of medical facility in Leeds. UAB, we were able to recruit them and that’s nice for what they do, but this is what we needed and boy we are so happy to have you so welcome to Leeds.”
Clinic Director Lindsay Vincent said, “We are really excited to be here and we hope that we can bring health care to the community that you guys have been needing for some time, so thank you guys for having us.”
Fast Pace Health Leeds will be open seven days a week with extended hours.
