2020 Watseka Immediate Care Expansion

Don't let an illness or injury slow you down, the newly expanded Riverside Immediate Care in Watseka is open seven days a week with extended hours.




In order to better serve Watseka and surrounding communities, Riverside has improved the overall patient experience with a new space. While the services and location are still the same, the entrance is now located on the east-side of Riverside's Watseka Campus, complete with a drive-thru canopy and ample parking.
