New Bingham Specialty Clinic & 1st Choice Urgent Care in Pocatello – NOW OPEN
POCATELLO, ID – March 7, 2022 – Bingham Healthcare is pleased to announce that they have expanded the medical care they offer in Pocatello. The Bingham Specialty Clinic & 1st Choice Urgent Care opened on Tuesday, March 1, 2022. It will make it more convenient for the community to have affordable medical care and easy access to medical specialists—all under one roof.
The new Bingham Healthcare Specialty Clinic & 1st Choice Urgent Care is housed in a building they purchased last year, conveniently located off of Yellowstone Highway in front of Fred Meyers in Pocatello. The address is: Bingham Healthcare Specialty Clinic & 1st Choice Urgent Care
850 Yellowstone Ave. | Pocatello | 83201. Main phone number: (208) 239-8065.
The building has been 100% renovated inside and improvements to the exterior have been made. The architect for the project was Ted Booth.
“The medical building will be home to world-class doctors to serve the citizens of the Pocatello/Chubbuck communities as well as the surrounding areas,” said Jake Erickson, CEO of Bingham Healthcare. “We will offer outpatient and urgent care services and will focus on the patient-centric model we have been cultivating throughout the region for decades.”
One side of the building with have a 1st Choice Urgent Care. And, the other side of the building will house Bingham Specialty Clinic, which will have bariatric surgeons, cardiologists, family medicine, gastroenterologists, general surgeons, neurologists, neurosurgeons, pain management specialists, pediatricians, plastic surgeons, and primary care physicians. If a patient is first seen in the urgent care and needs specialized treatment, these medical specialists will be on-hand to assist the patient in the same building.
This model is similar to the Mayo Clinic model and in line with the concept Bingham Healthcare has established at their extensive Blackfoot campus and the Bingham Healthcare Comprehensive Care Clinics in Idaho Falls. Bingham also has a similar clinic in Shelley, which has an urgent care and offers women’s health services, family medicine, and respiratory care—all in the same building.
“We have seen extremely positive results for being the first in the region to implement this type of patient-centered model,” said Erickson. “We are pleased that we can continue to expand this model of medical care in Pocatello. At Bingham Healthcare, we believe we do things differently. Things that make the patient experience better. It’s the Bingham Way that we are committed to making available to the people of Eastern Idaho.”
