Urgent care refers to the health-care services provided for non-life-threatening conditions that require prompt assessment and treatment by a health-care professional. Urgent care bridges the gap between emergency rooms and primary care, offering a different type of care for illnesses or injuries that need quick medical attention but that are not serious enough to require an emergency room visit or immediate hospitalization.
- injury assessment (such as sprains, strains and minor breaks);
- skin infections, burns and cuts;
- respiratory infections with fever, cough and/or shortness of breath;
- stomach illness with nausea, vomiting and/or diarrhea; and
- urinary tract infections.
