A walk-in medical clinic with a location in Jacksonville Beach is planning to open a second treatment center Downtown.
First Stop Urgent Care Clinic has leased space along West Adams Street in The Elks Building.
Jenkins Construction Inc. applied for a permit to build out the 772-square-foot space at a cost of $104,356.
Practice Administrator Mandy Gast said the clinic should open by July 1.
Preliminary hours will be 8 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday-Friday, but the schedule may be adjusted based on demand from Downtown residents and workers, she said.
According to the clinic’s website, firststopurgentcareclinic.com, the clinic is owned by Alexis Vazquez, a former professional tennis player who attended medical school at Nova Southeastern University. He is a doctor of osteopathic medicine, the website said.
Vazquez completed a pulmonary and critical care fellowship at Mayo Clinic Jacksonville and was an assistant professor at UF Health Jacksonville.
He is affiliated as a pulmonologist and critical care specialist at Baptist Health Beaches and is certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine.
The clinic at 1230 Third St. S. in Jacksonville Beach provides treatment for common illnesses such as colds, flu, allergies, earaches and bladder infections. Minor injuries such as burns, cuts, insect bites and splinters also are treated.
Education- and employment-related physical examinations, immunizations, pregnancy evaluation and wellness visits are listed as services available.
