Lakeland Immediate Care opens
Urgent care and several other medical services are offered at Lakeland Immediate Care that opens Wednesday at 15622 N. Highway 41, Rathdrum.
Lakeland High School graduate Jeremy Morse was later educated at Lewis & Clark College in Portland and St, George's University School of Medicine, and he fondly recalls his early Rathdrum years.
"I remember being part of the varsity football team that won two state championships," he said. "We had no doctors in town. I decided I wanted to be the Rathdrum doctor when I was in grade school, but it was a long time in the making." He has wife Donna and son Cody and employees Jamie Mael, Liz Bunch and Kandi McKinney.
They offer several medical services such as physicals and drug and alcohol screening. Hours are 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Phone 687-HURT(4878). Check www.lakelandimmediatecare.com.
