STAMFORD, Conn., July 1, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Today, Stamford Health announced the opening
of the Harbor Point Walk-In Center, which will begin offering
family medicine walk-in services immediately. The facility, located
at 170 Washington Blvd. in the Harbor Point neighborhood of
Stamford, is the health system's
fourth immediate care offering and second location in Harbor Point,
following HSS Sports Rehab Harbor Point. Patients 14 and over
will be able to access the facility on a walk-in basis from

The new facility offers a variety of health care services for
patients 14 and older including sick visits for general illness,
cold, flu and COVID-19 symptoms, vaccinations to treat common
conditions, treatment for minor aches and sprains, and more. The
location will also offer services such as OB-GYN and other women's

The Harbor Point Walk-In Center adds to the growing list of
Stamford Health's ambulatory locations across lower Fairfield County and will provide convenient
care and services to the local community, including those who may
be new to the area or who do not yet have a primary care
physician.
Romulo Vasquez, MD, a primary
care, family- and sports medicine-board-certified physician at
Stamford Health, will lead the facility and serve as the primary
caregiver. The center will also feature advanced practice providers
and support staff. In addition to providing treatment on-site, Dr.
Vasquez and his staff will help connect patients to other providers
and specialists in the Stamford Health network for continued
treatment.
"At Stamford Health, we take pride in delivering convenient
access to care in the right setting," said Rod Acosta, MD, Chief Physician Executive and
President and CEO of Stamford Health Medical Group. "Our goal at
Stamford Health is to provide top-of-the-line service to our
community and expanding our presence in Harbor Point with walk-in
appointment availability will allow us to care for and treat more
members of the communities we serve."
Stamford Health will host an open house on Tuesday, July 23 from 4:30 – 7pm, at which time members of the community can
