URGENT CARE SERVICES

Urgent Care services include triage, evaluation, and treatment of medically urgent problems, such as severe gastroenteritis, acute asthma, or a high fever.

You may be seen without an appointment when you have a medically urgent problem. However, please note that wait times will vary, depending on the severity of your medical problem.

If you are unsure if you need urgent care, call our Telephone Advice Nurse. Experienced advice nurses can help you figure out the best course of action: do you need immediate medical care, an appointment the next day, or will self-care help you? The Advice Nurse is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Call 863-4463.
