If you are experiencing an illness or injury that is not life-threatening
or serious enough to send you to the emergency room, but shouldn’t wait for
you to schedule an appointment with your primary care provider, immediate (or
urgent) care may be the answer.

Immediate care is appropriate when you experience a non-life-threatening
illness or injury that requires care within 24 hours. Examples include:

• Minor accidents or falls


• Sprains, strains and broken bones


• Minor cuts, injuries or burns


• Fever, flu, vomiting, diarrhea and nausea


• Skin rashes and infections

Our immediate care providers are trained and have extensive experience in
urgent care medicine. At these locations, we also provide routine care and
physicals.
