After-Hours Nurse Advice Line
When Family Care Clinics are closed, patients who call a clinic phone number or the scheduling line will hear an automated recording with an option to reach the nurse advice line. Registered nurses are available to help you decide whether your symptoms need urgent care, emergency care, or can safely wait until the next business day.
For life-threatening emergencies, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
Serving Bates County with Quality Primary Care
At Family Care Clinics, part of Bates County Memorial Hospital, we are dedicated to meeting your family’s healthcare needs, right where you live. Our team of skilled family medicine physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants provide compassionate care for all ages—from newborns to seniors. With convenient locations in Adrian, Butler, and Rich Hill, we offer comprehensive primary care for the entire family.
Convenient Hours and Access to Care
We know that your time is valuable. To make healthcare more accessible, we offer extended hours during the week and Saturday morning appointments at our Adrian clinic with a nurse practitioner. For established patients, we do our best to offer same-day appointments to get you back on your feet as quickly as possible.
Care Options for Respiratory Illness
We take extra precautions to keep you and your loved ones comfortable and safe. During peak illness seasons, or when needed, we provide isolated spaces for respiratory illness appointments to prevent the spread of illness.
Comprehensive Primary and Preventive Health Care
Whether you have new symptoms, need a routine physical, or want to discuss your health and wellness, our team is here for you. We offer a wide range of services, including:
- Annual wellness visits & physicals
- Care for minor illness & injuries
- Routine screenings & preventive care
- Chronic disease management & medication management
- Senior care & well-woman exams

Patients scheduled with a nurse practitioner or physician assistant may request to see a physician.
