Update January 15, 2015 - The Urgent Care is now reopened.
January 14, 2015 (La Mesa) – The Sharp Rees-Stealy Urgent Care on the campus of Grossmont Hospital in La Mesa temporarily shut down due to six patients who came in today with rashes and symptoms consistent with measles. The clinic reopened in the evening.
The patients arrived shortly before noon and were soon isolated after healthcare workers recognized symptoms of measles, a highly contagious disease that can be spread by coughing or sneezing. Tests were conducted to confirm whether the patients in fact have measles; results are pending.
