Atracare opens new walk-in care facility in Ocean View
Atracare has expanded to open a brand-new clinic in Ocean View.
The new walk-in facility will provide access to healthcare for more residents in Southern Delaware. Owned and operated by Delaware locals Dr. William Albanese and Dr. Lindsay Albanese, Atracare’s primary goal is to bring high-quality medical care to people in Sussex County.
“Growing up down here, I thought it was normal to wait several weeks to see a physician or to get care,” said William Albanese. After studying at the University of Maryland in Baltimore, he saw how quick and accessible medical care was in those urban, academic facilities. He was inspired to bring that same level of care to rural lower Delaware, and that’s the mission behind Atracare. “We want you to be seen as if you were at any of the academic institutions that all our very polished practitioners have been to,” he said.
Sussex County has a rapidly growing population, and as people move to Delaware from other states, the demand for urgent care is quickly increasing. Opening this walk-in facility in Ocean View will help meet that demand, he said.
Atracare primarily serves as an urgent walk-in care facility. Patients can come to Atracare to be tested and treated for illnesses like flu, COVID-19, strep throat and even Lyme disease. X-ray, lab and diagnostic testing, vaccines and physicals can also be performed at Atracare by its highly experienced, compassionate practitioners.
Director of Walk-In Care Lindsay Albanese is passionate about providing care to her community. As a Sussex County resident, she wants to serve patients and meet their needs, whether they live here full time or are just visiting on vacation. “We want to make sure our community is well taken care of,” she said.
This new building features coastal-style architecture and modern technology that will allow Atracare’s award-winning, locally renowned healthcare practitioners to provide an efficient, streamlined patient experience.
To schedule an appointment, go to atracare.com or send a text to the Ocean View office at 302-754-5697. The new Atracare facility will be open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., seven days a week. Telehealth appointments are also available for patients who cannot make it to the clinic.
