Tucson Medical Center offers alternative to emergency care for some RSV patients

Tucson Medical Center is offering an alternative to its emergency room for families whose children have RSV — respiratory syncytial virus — but don't necessarily need emergency care. 

"In response to this very aggressive and very early RSV/respiratory illness season, three of our TMCOne pediatric offices are temporarily offering urgent care services for children," said Angela Pittenger, a communications specialist with the medical center. "You do not need to be a current TMCOne patient to utilize this."

The clinics will be offering extended weekend hours for a period of time. Parents are asked to call the clinic ahead of arrival.

Here is rundown of the clinics, and hours offered:

TMCOne Rincon, 10350 E. Drexel Road, #110. (520) 324-1721.
