HAGERSTOWN, Md. — Two services are being added to Meritus Medical Plaza, complimenting patient care already available at the facility north of Hagerstown.

The facility at 13620 Crayton Blvd. will host providers for Meritus After Hours Pediatrics and Meritus Hagerstown Heart.

That’s in addition to Meritus Urgent Care, Meritus Primary Care, Meritus Physical Therapy and Meritus Medical Laboratory offices in the building.

“Meritus’ mission is to improve the health of the community, and offering cardiac care and pediatric urgent care at our Crayton Boulevard location is a response to community need in that area,” said Dave Lehr, Meritus Health chief strategy officer. “Increasing access to this kind of care can mean a world of difference to heart patients, parents and children.”

Meritus After Hours Pediatrics at Meritus Medical Plaza is a walk-in pediatric care facility, open after your primary care office is closed. Providers care for children up to age 21. Services include everything from caring for a sore throat, to examining rashes, to treating sprains or burns. The office also treats minor eye illness and mild to moderate asthma flare-ups.

Providers are available from 6 to 11 p.m. weekdays and 1 to 8 p.m. weekends.
