Pardee reopens Mills River clinics after smoke closure

By Lightning Reports, Published: January 17, 2026

UNC Health Pardee reopened its Pardee Urgent Care and Pardee BlueMD Primary Care offices at Mills River Plaza, at 3334 Boylston Highway, on Friday following a temporary relocation due to smoke conditions in the area. Both clinics officially resume operations at their original location.

During the temporary closure, urgent and primary care services were provided at alternate locations to ensure continuity of care for patients. The temporary urgent care location at the Mission Pardee Health Campus in Arden is now closed.

“We’re grateful for the community’s patience and understanding while we temporarily relocated,” Pardee Chief Administrative Officer Johnna Reed said. “We’re pleased to welcome patients back to these two Mills River locations and continue offering the compassionate, expert care they rely on in their neighborhood.”

Patients may once again walk in for urgent care needs or reserve a spot online at PardeeUrgentCare.com.
