Mercy-GoHealth Urgent Care and Mercy Pharmacy Dierbergs Open in Lake St. Louis

ST. LOUIS - A new and convenient combination for on-demand care needs and filling prescriptions is now available in Lake St. Louis with the opening of a Mercy-GoHealth Urgent Care and a Mercy Pharmacy Dierbergs in the same retail plaza. Mercy-GoHealth Urgent Care added a location at 6460 Ronald Reagan Drive in the Shoppes of Hawk Ridge in Lake St. Louis, where Mercy Pharmacy Dierbergs opened in November 2021. With this expansion, Mercy-GoHealth increases its total number of centers serving the metro area to 20, and Mercy now offers 35 retail pharmacies in the St. Louis region and 49 across Mercy's four states.

This Mercy-Go Health opening provides even greater access to the St. Charles County community adding a sixth center to locations in O'Fallon, Wentzville, Cottleville, St. Peters and St. Charles. When choosing locations for its services, Mercy-Go Health is focused on making care highly accessible for patients. There are multiple retail plazas in the metro area with a Mercy Pharmacy Dierbergs and Mercy-GoHealth Urgent Care steps apart.

"The one-stop shop approach has proven valuable to our patients," said Ajay Pathak, Mercy senior vice president and chief strategic ventures officer. "We know our patients want convenience when it comes to health care and having these two vital services available in one new retail plaza makes it simple. When patients leave a Mercy-GoHealth Urgent Care with a prescription, they can walk next door to Mercy Pharmacy Dierbergs to pick it up all while taking care of their shopping needs."
