Thank you for choosing Licking Memorial Health Systems for your healthcare needs. The specifics of your visit will vary based on the service requested, so please check with your physician for details regarding your treatment. All visits with the physicians are scheduled. Please call the phone numbers listed on the webpage of the service you are requesting, or use our convenient online secure email to request an appointment. If you have not yet signed up for secure health services through our website, contact your physician’s office and the staff will help you get started with online services.
Our physicians allow time in their daily appointment schedule for urgent or emergency visits. We feel the patient’s time is as valuable as our own, so our entire staff makes every effort to stay on time. To help us do this, please make sure you arrive several minutes early for your appointment.
If you cannot keep your appointment, please notify your physician at least 24 hours in advance so that we can accommodate other patients with healthcare needs. Patients may be charged a missed appointment fee of $25 for appointments that are missed or not cancelled in a timely manner.
