About This Location
On West Chicago Avenue in River West, this Concentra clinic stands out for having some of the longest weekday hours of any urgent care location in the city — open from 7:00 AM until 10:00 PM Monday through Friday. That 15-hour weekday window serves early-shift workers who need care before most clinics open, as well as those who can't leave work until the evening. The clinic is built around occupational health: drug testing and DOT physicals are core services here, alongside X-ray imaging and standard lab work. Workers Compensation cases are accepted, which makes this a go-to location for employers managing workplace injuries in the surrounding industrial and commercial areas of River West and the Near North Side. The clinic accepts Aetna and Cigna, along with United Healthcare and Medicare. River West sits between the West Town neighborhood and the Chicago River, attracting a mix of warehouse operations, construction companies, and newer residential and office development. Saturday hours run 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and the clinic is closed Sundays. Walk-ins are welcome Monday through Saturday.
