Urgent Care is designed for urgent medical needs that are not life-threatening, but still require prompt attention. The service is intended to fill the gap between care provided during regular physician office hours and the Emergency Department. Urgent Care is not intended to replace a family physician. Typical minor illnesses or injuries that are appropriate for Urgent Care include:
-Ear pain
-Eye irritation
-Fever or flu
-Minor cuts, scrapes and bruises
-Minor broken bones and fractures (i.e. fingers, toes)
-Skin rashes and infections
-Sore throat or cough
-Sprains and strains
-Urinary burning
-Vomiting, diarrhea or dehydration
