Your Health Home

Welcome to Shawnee Health.  We are pleased you have chosen us to be your partner in health care, and are confident that, working together, we can be the right health home for you.

One thing we know is essential to being partners in your health care is communication.  This website and the New Patient Packet have been developed to help you understand our processes, your rights, what you can expect from us, and how you can be an advocate in your own health care.

We take your health seriously and are honored to have you trust us with your care.

Prescription refill requests typically take 3 days to fill.  If you have requested a refill and it has been more than 3 days, please call (618) 519-9200 to learn the status of your prescription refill.  Prescriptions cannot be filled after hours.

Referrals

Shawnee Health  is your first stop for health check-ups and wellness advice.  Regular visits with your primary care doctor, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant can help you stay healthy.  When you need the attention of a specialist, we will help with referrals to qualified local and regional medical and allied health professionals.  To request a referral, speak with your physician, nurse practitioner or physician assistant.
