Their team of skilled care providers treat minor illnesses and injuries such as rashes, sore throats, coughs, earaches, sinus congestion, burns, scrapes and wounds. Convenient Care also offers access to on-site x-rays and laboratory services for those patients in needs of additional diagnostic testing.

“We recognized ten years ago a need in our communities for high quality health care that met the needs of our patients, outside of a traditional Monday through Friday Primary Care office setting, or a Hospital Emergency Department. As more and more patients sought and continue to seek their care locally, versus care in Peoria, we made the decision to expand our hours to better meet their needs” said Bob Senneff, President & CEO of Graham Health System.
