Bilingual provider will lead orthopedic and sports medicine care team
The Orlando Health Jewett Orthopedic Institute has opened a new walk-in clinic adjacent to St. Cloud to provide sports medicine and orthopedic care without an appointment.
The location is at 1600 Budinger Ave., Suite C, adjacent to St. Cloud Hospital.
Bilingual medical providers will evaluate and treat sports concussions, sprains, strains,
stress fractures and other orthopedic injuries to all ages. Patients will have immediate access to x-ray imaging and casting at the site.
“The walk-in clinic is a convenient way for people to get faster, more streamlined specialty care for orthopedic and sports medicine injuries,” said Kelsey Kiser, Assistant Vice President Orlando Health Jewett Orthopedic Institute. “Patients are often able to skip a trip to the emergency room and go straight to the experts, who can diagnose, and in some cases treat the injury or condition in a single visit.”
The clinic will be led by Gabriela Acosta, a certified physician assistant (PA-C). Acosta has worked at other area Jewett Orthopedic Institute locations.
“I’m excited to help bring our top-notch services to St. Cloud,” Acosta said. “I love connecting with my patients in English or Spanish and making sure they are empowered to take charge of their healthcare decisions.”
Patients are encouraged to bring a photo ID, insurance card, and parent or guardian if under 18 to the new clinic.
