Urgent Care Services & Treatments
Do you need same-day medical attention for an urgent, but not life-threatening, condition?

You also can use the Check Symptoms tool in your patient portal account or call our Nurse Line to speak with a nurse about the most appropriate care for your needs. Remember: Call 911 in a serious emergency.
Note that wait times in Urgent Care may be longer than usual during periods of high patient volume.

Primary care provider
Urgent Care should not replace regular visits to a primary care provider, as these healthcare professionals develop a relationship with you and your family over the long term.
A primary care provider could be a physician, physician assistant or nurse practitioner who:
- Evaluates and treats common health concerns
- Provides preventive screenings based on your health and family history
- Detects serious diseases and illnesses, such as cancer and diabetes, if you see them regularly
- Refers you to specialists as needed
