Urgent Care Centers Coming to Bloomfeld and Nutley


Bloomfield, New Jersey: A nationwide chain of urgent care centers is planning to open two locations in Essex County. 


MedExpress centers are set to come to Bloomfield and Nutley, according to the website of the Morgantown, West Virginia-based company. Although exactly where the Nutley location will be has not yet been revealed, according to a legal notice from the Bloomfield Planning Board, the Bloomfield location will be situated within the Bloomfield Plaza shopping center at 135 Bloomfield Avenue, near the corner of Grove Street. The notice states that the company is planning a 716 square foot expansion of the existing space. The board will hear the proposal on Tuesday, March 7th at 7:00pm at the Bloomfield Municipal Building.

It is not yet clear when the two urgent care centers will open in Essex County, but once the ribbon is cut, their hours will be 8:00am to 8:00pm daily, the company website states. There are MedExpress locations in 15 states, with 16 current New Jersey centers and 12 additional ones planned.
