What is urgent care?
Urgent care is quick, convenient medical access to healthcare for urgent, non-emergency conditions that need immediate treatment.
Some of the most common urgent care conditions are upper respiratory tract infections such as colds and flu, urinary tract infections (UTIs), and strains or sprains. Additional non-emergency, urgent care conditions include:
- Falls or accidents
- Moderate back problems
- Severe cough or sore throat
- Flu or fever
- Dehydration, diarrhea, or vomiting
- Mild difficulties breathing
- Skin infections or rashes
- Eye redness or irritation
- Cuts where bleeding is controlled, but require stitches
If you’re experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or go to the emergency room immediately.
