Spend your cash on holiday gifts instead of costly Emergency Room visits. When you are experiencing less-complex, non-life threatening healthcare issues, Emergency Rooms can be an expensive way to get quality care. Instead, consider Urgent Care Centers. Urgent Care Centers are convenient walk-in based healthcare clinics that are staffed with the same types of medical providers as hospitals or private practices. These centers offer extended office hours and do not require an appointment which makes them a great alternative to an Emergency Room.
Common medical conditions that can be treated at an Urgent Care Center include:
- Common Cold, Flu, Sinus Infections
- Stitches for non-urgent lacerations
- Sprains, strains, and fractures (some offer onsite x-rays)
- Rashes, skin irritations
- Urinary tract infections
- Immunizations and lab-work
