What Services Do Urgent Cares Provide?
Urgent cares provide prompt healthcare for urgent medical conditions. Remember, "urgent" means non-life-threatening, so urgent cares can see you only if your health problem is minor. Most urgent care clinics provide walk-in service, so an appointment isn't necessary in order for you to receive care. Also, most urgent care clinics provide care for people of any age, so you can take your child or an elderly parent to an urgent care.
Urgent care clinics offer services like:
- Treatments for common illnesses (treatments for the common cold, minor infections, etc.).
- Physical examinations (sports, school, work, annual physicals, etc.).
- Treatments for minor injuries (treatments for simple sprains, minor burns, etc.).
- Lab tests (infection testing and testing for certain other health issues).
- Occupational healthcare (treatments and solutions for work-related health matters).
- Immunizations (flu shots and others).
- And more..
