🚐💙 The OSF OnCall King Care-A-Van is on the move this January, bringing convenient, high-quality care to the Marseilles community. No appointment is needed. Stop by and see us at one of these locations:

• Jan. 17 | 11 a.m.–1 p.m. | Marseilles MCMA Community Center

✨ New on the Care-A-Van: TytoCare technology
This innovative tool allows for comprehensive virtual medical exams using clinic-level diagnostic instruments, going far beyond a standard video visit.

With TytoCare, we can help address common concerns like pink eye, rashes, sore throats, and cold or flu symptoms right from the mobile unit. Visits are billed similarly to an in-office appointment.
