Expanding Healthcare Access in Our Community

As we approach the sixth month of patient care at Lompoc Health – North H Center, we are working diligently to ensure our community has comprehensive access to primary and specialty care. We continue to recruit healthcare providers who want to live and work in our community, while also expanding services — such as adding a centralized call center — to ensure our patients receive timely, efficient medical treatment.

Urgent Care

Sometimes, when it comes to health care, you just can’t wait for a scheduled primary care appointment. In some cases, your medical problem might not rise to the level of needing an emergency room. With that in mind, starting May 25, Lompoc Health – North H Center will offer same-day, scheduled Urgent Care services 12 hours a day, 7 days a week.

At North H Center, the Urgent Care exam rooms are located on the first floor and are currently open from am to 9 pm during the week. By Memorial Day weekend, appointments may be made every day of the week for same-day care.

Starting May 25
9 am - 9 pm, 7 Days a Week

Laboratory

The laboratory at Lompoc Health – North H Center is open for all your full-service laboratory needs. The lab, located on the first floor, is open from 7 am to 5 pm weekdays. But please note, if you are a former Sansum HMO patient, you will still receive your laboratory services at Pacific Diagnostic Labs, rather than at Lompoc Health.
