About Urgent Care
Urgent care is for health issues that need quick attention but are not emergencies. Examples include:
- Sprains, strains, and minor breaks
- Cuts, burns, and skin infections
- Respiratory infections with fever or cough
- Stomach illness with vomiting or diarrhea
- Urinary tract infections

Urgent care is not for serious conditions like chest pain, breathing problems, or stroke symptoms. These require emergency care.
