Normal, Ill. — Carle Health Convenient Care services in the Bloomington-Normal area are moving at the end of the month. Beginning Nov. 1, 2023, the Convenient Care clinic at the Carle Normal on College location, 1437 E. College Ave. in Normal will relocate to Carle BroMenn Outpatient Center, 3024 E. Empire St. in Bloomington.
Convenient Care clinic providers and staff will occupy the suite on the first floor of the outpatient center, originally the location of a second Convenient Care clinic location it ended services in the spring of 2022. Hours will remain the same: Mon. – Fri., 7 a.m. – 8 p.m. and weekends, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. and patients can continue to schedule convenient care appointments through their MyCarle account.
“The move allows us to better serve our patients,” Amanda Smith, vice president, Carle BroMenn Medical Center and Carle Eureka Hospital ambulatory care, said. “With both outpatient lab and outpatient radiology in adjoining suites, we can enhance and elevate the services available to patients who have an unanticipated need for care or experience a need outside of normal office hours.”
Carle Normal on College will continue to offer Family Medicine with Rabaiya Ali, MD, at that location. Dr. Ali is accepting new patients of all ages and has a special interest in preventative care and chronic disease management. To schedule an appointment with Dr. Ali, call Carle Normal on College at (309) 862-5750.
As the cold and flu season begins, Carle Health offers many options for care. To determine where to go for the most appropriate services, these general guidelines can help.
