Phoebe Opens New Urgent Care Clinic in Sylvester

DSC00550 1SYLVESTER, GA | September 8, 2025 – Phoebe has expanded its network of urgent care clinics by opening a new location in Sylvester. The facility will provide residents in Sylvester and surrounding areas with convenient access to high-quality, prompt medical care. Phoebe and community leaders took part in a ribbon-cutting ceremony Monday afternoon to commemorate this milestone.

The new clinic, located alongside the Phoebe Worth Family Medicine Clinic in Sylvester, will provide extended hours from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekends, without the need for an appointment.

At a time when so many rural hospitals are struggling, Phoebe Worth continues to thrive, expand, and find new ways to serve the people of Worth County. This urgent care clinic is another example of Phoebe’s commitment to this community,” said Scott Steiner, President & CEO of Phoebe Putney Health System.

The skilled team at Phoebe Urgent Care of Sylvester treats a variety of conditions, including, but not limited to:

  • Asthma and allergies
  • Cuts requiring minor stitching
  • Minor broken bones and simple fractures
  • Respiratory illnesses such as flu, strep throat, COVID-19, and RSV

DSC00558 1“One of our top priorities is ensuring people can get the right care at the right time in the right place. This new clinic will help prevent unnecessary ER visits and ensure families can get quick, quality care for minor illnesses and injuries. Whether it’s an in-person visit or a virtual appointment through phoebehealth.com, we want to make care more accessible people in Worth County and throughout southwest Georgia,” said Dr. Estrellita Redmon, President of Phoebe Physicians, which operates the health system’s growing network of urgent care clinics across the region.

That network includes three clinics in Albany and one each in Lee County, Camilla and Sylvester.  Phoebe plans to open a second location in Lee County on Highway 82 next year.  Phoebe Urgent Care of East Albany was recently renovated.  Renovations are currently underway at Phoebe Urgent Care North Campus, and upgrades are planned for Phoebe Urgent Care at Northwest Albany.

All Phoebe Urgent Care locations prioritize access, quality, and innovation, offering same-day testing, limited labs, and timely, expert care.

The employees at our hospital and clinics in Sylvester live here, raise their families here, and are deeply committed to making our community better. The addition of this urgent care service is just one more way we’re working to provide the expert healthcare our neighbors need, right here at home,” said Phoebe Worth Medical Center President Kim Gilman.

Phoebe Urgent Care also provides telehealth options from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. for patients who may be unable to make it to an in-person appointment.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new Sylvester clinic concluded with remarks from Sylvester-Worth County Chamber of Commerce President Kayla Myers, followed by tours of the new facility and refreshments for attendees.DSC00611 1
