Hammond Henry Hospital Clinics: Locations, Hours, and Walk-In vs. Appointment Care

Updated

Hammond Henry Hospital operates six clinic locations across Henry County, Illinois, and the key distinction for patients is this: Annawan, Colona, Geneseo, and Kewanee offer walk-in care, while Cambridge and Port Byron provide testing by appointment only. If you need to be seen without scheduling ahead, choose one of the four walk-in clinics. If you need testing at Cambridge or Port Byron, call that clinic directly to schedule. For current wait times, the hospital's own guidance is to call the Colona clinic.

Walk-In Care Clinics

These four locations accept patients without a prior appointment:

Clinic Care Type
Annawan Clinic Walk-in care
Colona Clinic Walk-in care (also a contact point for wait times)
Geneseo Clinic Walk-in care
Kewanee Clinic Walk-in care

Because walk-in availability and daily hours can shift, confirm before you drive out — especially if you're traveling from another town.

Appointment-Only Testing Clinics

Clinic Care Type
Cambridge Clinic Testing by appointment only
Port Byron Clinic Testing by appointment only

These two sites do not take walk-ins for testing. You must call the clinic directly to schedule.

How to Schedule or Check Wait Times

  • To book testing at Cambridge or Port Byron: call that clinic directly. The hospital's site states appointments are required and that scheduling happens by phone.
  • To check wait times: call the Colona clinic, which the hospital identifies as the number to call for wait-time information.
  • To find a specific address or provider: use the Find a Location and Find a Provider tools on hammondhenry.com.

What Else You Can Do Through the Website

The site's patient section links to practical tools beyond clinic info:

  • My Patient Portal and Epic MyChart for accessing your records
  • Online Bill Pay and a Price Transparency Tool under the Patients section
  • Billing and Collection information, including a posted pay grade scale document
  • Medical Records Request and Patient Information Guide

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

  • Assuming all clinics take walk-ins. Cambridge and Port Byron are testing-only and appointment-only — arriving without a scheduled appointment won't get you tested.
  • Not calling ahead for wait times. Walk-in care means no appointment, not no wait. Colona is the designated number for current wait times.
  • Relying on general hours instead of confirming. The hospital's own description directs patients to call clinics directly, which suggests hours and availability are best verified by phone rather than assumed.

For anything time-sensitive, call the specific clinic first. The website's Find a Location tool gives you the address; the phone call confirms whether you can be seen today.
