Urgent Care

What Urgent Care Can Help With

• Common Cold and Flu Symptoms
  When you feel under the weather with symptoms like a runny nose, cough, or mild fever, urgent care can help. Our expert teams can provide relief and guide you in managing your symptoms.
• Minor Injuries
  Minor cuts, burns, sprains, and strains—urgent care teams are equipped to handle a range of injuries that require immediate attention without the need for a visit to the emergency room.
• Infections
  Suppose you are experiencing a mild infection like a minor skin infection or urinary tract infection. In that case, urgent care is prepared to diagnose, prescribe treatments, and get you on a path to recovery quicker.
• Non-Severe Allergic Reactions
  Providers in urgent care settings can help you identify and treat mild allergic reactions such as rashes, swelling, or other minor allergy symptoms. They’ll get you the appropriate care and advice for relief.

What to Expect at Urgent Care

When you arrive at the urgent care facility, our reception team will check if you have an online or walk-in appointment, help you register, and show you to the waiting area. Please check your MyChart account for confirmation if you made an appointment online.

We prioritize appointments based on urgency to help everyone get the care they need promptly.

When you are called back to the treatment area, a care provider will assess the nature of your visit, explain the recommended care options, and proceed accordingly with treatment. Our goal is to help you receive treatment quickly and efficiently.
