Deaconess Clinic Orthopedics adds walk-in care in Jasper
Jasper patients can now walk in for orthopedic care at Deaconess Clinic Orthopedics on St. Charles Street and Second Street for sprains, strains and sports injuries.
Jasper residents with a twisted ankle, a work injury or a sports-related strain no longer have to wait for a standard orthopedic appointment before getting seen. Deaconess Clinic Orthopedics began offering walk-in appointments at its Jasper offices on St. Charles Street and Second Street on June 8, opening a faster route to care for urgent injuries and other musculoskeletal concerns.
The change is especially practical for workers, student-athletes and parents trying to avoid a long delay or an emergency room visit for a problem that needs prompt attention but is not life-threatening. Deaconess said the walk-in option is meant for urgent orthopedic needs such as sprains, strains, joint pain, sports injuries and other musculoskeletal problems.
The Second Street office gives the clearest local picture of what that access looks like. Deaconess lists the clinic at 695 W. 2nd St., Suite 2A, Jasper, IN 47546-3249, with weekday hours of Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The office phone number is 812-996-5950.
The Jasper sites are part of a broader shift that began in November 2025, when Norris, Blessinger & Woebkenberg Orthopaedics & Spine moved from private practice into Deaconess Health System and took the name Deaconess Clinic Orthopedics - St. Charles. That transition left Jasper with two Deaconess orthopedic locations, both now tied to a health system that is expanding how patients can access specialty care close to home.
Deaconess already uses an orthopedic urgent-care model elsewhere in its system, including at Deaconess Clinic Orthopedic Urgent Care in Henderson, Kentucky. The Jasper move suggests the same approach is being brought to Dubois County, where patients often need quick evaluation after an injury but do not always need a trip across town to the emergency department.
For serious medical emergencies, Deaconess advises calling 911 or going to the nearest emergency room. For everything from a weekend basketball injury to an unexpected strain at work, the new walk-in option gives Jasper-area patients a shorter path from injury to diagnosis, treatment and recovery.
