Sports injuries often come at unexpected times, and packed schedules can make appointments difficult to come by. That’s why The University of Kansas Health System Sports Medicine and Performance Center is back with our Saturday morning walk-in clinic for sports injuries for fall 2021.
From August 28 to November 20, walk-in care will be available 8-11 a.m. Saturdays at our Sports Medicine and Performance Center located at 10730 Nall Ave., Suite 200, in Overland Park.
