The Palms Medical Centre, at 445 Ferguson Street in central Palmerston North, has been part of the city's medical care for more than 50 years, according to its website. It is open 8am to 7pm, seven days a week, and can be reached on 06 354 7737. The centre has an Acute Care walk-in clinic, where patients are triaged and seen the same or next day. The website says it may not take new arrivals into acute care in the last 60 minutes of the day, and that waiting times depend on demand.
X-ray services are available with a referral from a GP, nurse practitioner or physiotherapist, and patients do not need to be enrolled to use them. ACC, POAC, community referred and private X-rays are offered. The centre also gives child and adult immunisations, and lists flu, Covid, catch-up Bexsero and MMR clinics. A pharmacy and a café are on site, and the website describes a whānau ora approach to care. Our pick in Palmerston North for one place for many health needs.
