What Is Urgent Care?
Urgent care provides timely treatment for illnesses and injuries that need prompt attention but are not life-threatening. It can help bridge the gap between routine primary care, virtual care and emergency care when you need treatment sooner than a routine appointment but do not require emergency services.
Benefits of urgent care may include:
- Treatment for common illnesses, minor injuries and other urgent health needs
- Walk-in access without an appointment
- Extended evening and weekend hours at many locations
- A potentially lower-cost option than an emergency room for non-life-threatening conditions
- Convenient access to care close to home
