Urgent Care treats minor illness or injury that cannot wait until tomorrow. It is also a good option if you do NOT have other underlying health conditions.

Attempted suicide
Chest pain or pressure
Compound fracture (bone that protrudes through the skin)
Head injuries
Pneumonia
Seizures
Severe abdominal pain
