New urgent care clinic opens in Ballston area

The urgent care clinic replacing the former Petco Unleashed store in the Ballston area is already open.

The company said it saw am urgent need for an urgent care center in the area, which includes a census tract with the highest population density in the D.C. region. This is the second Inova urgent care clinic in Arlington, with the other located at 4600 Langston Blvd in North Arlington.
