Guilford County’s Primary Care Clinic will open its doors to the public Friday, Nov. 14, providing free health screenings and information about ongoing services at its two sites: 1100 E. Wendover Ave. in Greensboro and 501 E. Green Dr. in High Point. Organizers say the open house is designed to introduce residents to the clinic’s primary care offerings and to encourage preventive health checks that can catch problems early.
The clinic provides a broad range of services year‑round, including annual physicals, sick visits, wellness care, immunizations and chronic‑disease management. Appointments for regular care are available Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.; residents may schedule by calling 336‑641‑3245. During the open house, visitors can meet providers, learn about how to access services, and receive free screenings for common risk factors.
Organizers emphasize the importance of routine measurement and monitoring, encouraging residents to “know your numbers”—blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and body mass index (BMI)—as a first step in preventing more serious illness. Early detection of elevated readings can lead to timely interventions for conditions such as hypertension, diabetes and high cholesterol, which are central concerns in community health management.
The open house represents a local effort to lower barriers to primary care. By hosting events at both Greensboro and High Point locations, the county aims to reach a broader cross‑section of residents who may be unfamiliar with clinic services or uncertain how to establish regular care. Information provided at the event will also cover options for accessing care, including appointment procedures and clinic resources for ongoing management of chronic conditions.
For many residents, access to a reliable primary care clinic means fewer emergency room visits and better long‑term management of health conditions. The clinic’s combination of preventive screenings, immunizations and chronic disease programs is intended to support that continuity of care. County officials say the open house is open to all residents regardless of prior relationship with the clinic.
The Nov. 14 event is part of the county’s outreach to increase awareness of public health services and encourage proactive health behaviors. Residents seeking to make an appointment or learn more about services at either site can call 336‑641‑3245 or visit the Guilford County Division of Public Health website for further details.
