Readers are wondering what’s planned for a pad site in front of The Home Depot at the Galvez Shopping Center, north of Interstate 45, on the island. UTMB confirmed it’s planning a 7,500-square-foot pediatric clinic and urgent care facility at the site, 6416 Broadway. Island Pediatric West and Urgent Care will include 12 patient rooms — 11 exam rooms and one treatment room — and will offer pediatric primary care during the day and urgent care after hours. The clinic will replace Island Pediatrics West at 2027 61st St. The clinic’s opening is tentatively scheduled for spring next year. Meanwhile, UTMB is aiming for a spring 2016 opening of the first phase of its 30,000-square-foot West Island Clinic behind Randalls grocery store off Central City Boulevard. The second phase will include an additional 60,000 square feet. Initial plans call for the first phase to have 50 patient rooms. Services in the first phase will include dermatology, family medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, basic lab and radiology, including bone density, ultrasound, mammography and basic diagnostics. The first phase also will include an after-hours adult urgent care. [Note: Subscription required. Contact UTMB Media Relations for details.]
