Urgent Care

Urgent Care, Acute Care and Walk-In Services

When you need care for sudden illnesses or injuries, walk in for urgent care and be seen today. Urgent care gives you convenient access to care when you need to be seen right away, but your condition is not a medical emergency.

In the ER, those with critical conditions are treated first. This can create longer wait times for those with less serious conditions. Urgent, acute and walk-in care locations offer faster, more affordable treatment for minor illnesses and injuries.

Sanford Health accepts most insurance plans.
