Urgent Care Medicine
​
Urgent Care Medicine is a specialty devoted to treating acute illnesses and injuries that are not life-threatening and do not require hospitalization. Hospital emergency departments, in contrast, are designed and staffed to take care of critically ill or injured people 24 hours a day.
​
If you have a minor emergency, an urgent care clinic is a convenient and affordable alternative to the long waits and high costs found in most emergency departments. Urgent care clinics help relieve some of the congestion in emergency departments by taking care of patients who don’t have life threatening problems, allowing hospital ED’s to focus on those who truly need their specialized services.
​
