New patients can schedule online through UI Health Care’s Family Medicine website.
Urgent cares are walk-in clinics that provide care for minor illnesses and injuries and typically have shorter wait times than a busy emergency room. With convenient hours—including nights and weekends—patients receive services that go beyond a typical walk-in clinic, including IV fluids, stitches, and X-rays.
