What is urgent care?
Urgent care is quick, convenient medical access to healthcare for urgent, non-emergency conditions that need immediate treatment.

- 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.
