When your number is called and you enter KeyArena, you will stay inside until you have received all the services you are seeking for the day. If you leave KeyArena, you cannot return that day. Be prepared for a long day at the clinic.

Will Someone Speak My Language?
Interpretation services will be available to assist patients throughout the clinic.

What Happens Once I Enter the Clinic?
Because of the large number of patients, you can only seek care in either vision or dental, in addition to medical care, in one day.Patients can wait in line for an admission number on another day for additional services.

We will collect basic personal information including name, age, height, weight, and medical history.

In each service area (dental, vision, or medical) you will wait your turn in line and will be seen on a first come, first served basis.

SPECIAL TIP: The weekend is expected to be the most populated.  If possible, come on Thursday when  attendance will likely be at its lowest level.
