After a little over a year of the property remaining vacant, H&R Retail has listed Holy Cross Health as the new occupant of the space formerly occupied by Flower Child. Flower Child closed its Rockville location at 10072 Darnestown Road in the Travilah Square Shopping Center when the pandemic shut down indoor dining back in March of 2020 and made the decision to close permanently a few months later. Holy Cross Health is an Urgent Care center that will be operated by Holy Cross, a member of Trinity Health.
Holy Cross Urgent Care gives patients nearby access to convenient care for non life-threatening medical issues after hours or when they cannot schedule an appointment with their family physician. Patients can walk in without an appointment, see one of our experienced physicians for everything from minor injuries and rashes to cuts and respiratory infections, and walk out feeling better. “Holy Cross Urgent Care provides you and your loved ones with a wide range of urgent health care services, physical exams and more to keep you at your healthy best.”
