What do Emergency Care Clinics/Centers do?

Emergency care clinics and centers provide treatment for medical conditions that are urgent but not life-threatening, such as cuts, sprains, fevers, and mild infections, filling the gap between a primary doctor’s office and an emergency room. 

They are designed for convenient access to immediate care when your regular doctor is unavailable, offering services such as X-rays, lab tests, and prescriptions for conditions like the flu, minor fractures, and simple burns. 

What they treat

Emergency care centers treat a wide range of conditions, including: 

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.

Other issues: Mild allergic reactions, minor burns, and animal bites.

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

Emergency care centers are not equipped to handle severe, life- or limb-threatening conditions like heart attacks, strokes, major traumatic injuries, or other serious medical emergencies. For these critical situations, you should go directly to a hospital emergency room.
