Austin Regional Clinic Wilson Parke in the Trails at 620 is planning to open next summer. The multi-specialty clinic will add to the 18 other ARC clinics in the three-county area.

“ARC Wilson Parke is in direct response to the rapid growth in the 620/2222 area, one of the fastest-growing areas of metro Austin,” said Mark Steiger, ARC regional director.

ARC Wilson Parke is part of a 44,000-square-foot building that will also house Austin Radiological Associates.

ARC will take up just over half of the building with 75 exam and treatment rooms and a full-service lab, with radiology services available at the ARA location in the same building.

ARC Wilson Parke will be a multi-specialty clinic, offering family medicine, pediatrics, internal medicine, OB/GYN, dermatology, allergy and urgent care services.

ARC was founded by three physicians in 1980 and now provides health care to over 380,000 area residents in 18 locations in six cities in Travis, Williamson and Hays counties.

“Like our other flagship locations, ARC Wilson Parke will feature the convenience of on-site lab and radiology which saves time for our patients and supports their integrated care,” Steiger said.

Other ARC specialists are expected to have limited schedules at the new clinic. ARC will also have an after-hours clinic with nursing services through the night. A new patient web portal will give quick access to health information. Online appointment scheduling and same-day appointments will also be featured.

“Serving residents of Four Points is the realization of a years-long goal of ARC’s, and helps further underscore our commitment to access to care for all Central Texans where and when they need it,” Steiger said.
