BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS: Urgent care, new bakery and dance space

By Bradley Koltz
   It was a Saturday, we had one confirmed flu case at home and I was feeling flu-like symptoms coming on. My doctor’s office was closed until Monday, so I went to the urgent care facility recently opened by Saint Peter’s University Hospital on Route 206 in Montgomery.
   Twenty minutes later, I was diagnosed with the flu and on my way to the pharmacy for a dose of Tamiflu. Four days later I’m back at my desk. The staff at Saint Peter’s was friendly, efficient and got me on my way to feeling better quickly.
