A new walk-in urgent care center is now open in Hunters Point.

UMD Urgent Medical Care, which operates walk-in clinics throughout New York City, held its grand opening Friday at 5-35 50th Ave., according to manager Audrey Ko.

The urgent care center was originally slated to open in February. Ko did not respond to questions regarding the delay as of press time.
