Minor injuries Include Sprains, strains, minor cuts, and simple fractures.
Infections: Ear infections, sinus infections, and mild pneumonia.
Common illnesses: Including the Flu, sore throats, and other respiratory infections.

When to go to an emergency care clinic
An emergency care clinic is the right choice when you experience a sudden illness or injury that is not severe enough to require an emergency room but needs immediate attention.
- If you have a condition, you would usually discuss it with your primary care physician.
- If you cannot wait for a routine appointment, but your condition isn’t life-threatening.
What they offer
On-site diagnostics: Many centers have X-ray machines and laboratory facilities for instant blood tests and other diagnostic services.
Medications: They can provide prescriptions and sometimes have pharmacies to fill them.
Convenient access: They are often conveniently located, have shorter wait times, and offer walk-in or online check-in options.
What they are not for
