Milford Regional Medical Center announced that the Milford Regional Urgent Care facility at 1 Lumber St. in Hopkinton, which has been closed for the past few weeks as MRMC consolidated urgent care visits to three other locations, will reopen Monday as a respiratory care unit. In addition to being available for walk-in X-rays, the Hopkinton location will treat patients exhibiting respiratory illnesses, such as fever, cough, mild shortness of breath, wheezing, sore throat, muscle aches or lost sense of taste or smell. Patients without those symptoms also will be welcomed if they choose. Check the MRMC website for more information.
