Interstate Health has inaugurated a brand-new medical facility, specifically an urgent and primary care clinic, situated within the Racine Petro complex. You can find it conveniently at exit #333 on Interstate 94, just a short distance to the south of Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport and to the north of Chicago. This clinic is designed to cater to the needs of commercial drivers who frequent the Racine Petro, as well as offering healthcare services to local communities and travelers.
Operating hours at Interstate Health Racine are from Monday to Friday, spanning from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CST. The services provided encompass primary care, urgent care, and occupational health services. This encompasses a wide range of offerings such as Department of Transportation and pre-employment physicals, preventive care and wellness check-ups, vaccinations, medication management, and much more.

“We are thrilled to open our new clinic in the Racine Petro, a premier truck stop that not only serves commercial drivers, but also is a landmark for the villages of Sturtevant, Mount Pleasant, and Yorkville,” said Jeff Seraphine, Interstate Health chief executive officer. “Our mission is to ensure access to quality healthcare for people who frequent America’s highways. By offering urgent care, primary care, and occupational health services to the people who know and trust the Racine Petro, we believe we are fulfilling our mission in a meaningful way.”
Leaders from Interstate Health, as well as Michael Willkomm, the owner of Racine Petro, celebrated the inauguration of the new clinic this week through a ceremonial ribbon-cutting event. They were joined by representatives from Racine Area Manufacturers and Commerce, local business leaders, and members of the National Association of Truck Stop Operators.
Interstate Health made its debut in November 2022 with substantial support from experienced transportation and logistics executives. The company’s primary mission is to address the healthcare disparities experienced by commercial drivers, who are at a heightened risk of conditions such as heart disease, obesity, diabetes, and hypertension, as indicated by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health.
Moreover, Interstate Health is actively working to enhance healthcare accessibility for rural communities situated along our highways. Since its launch last year, the company has acquired a clinic in Cookeville, Tennessee, and initiated construction on a clinic in Port Wentworth, Georgia, which is anticipated to commence operations later this month.
