Urgent care is the delivery of ambulatory medical care on a walk-in basis without a scheduled appointment.

Urgent care centers provide an alternative to expensive hospital emergency rooms and an option when your family physician is unavailable.

Urgent Care centers function as overflow valves for the public, when appointments to a primary care physician's office are not available or after regular office hours when patients needing immediate attention would otherwise be diverted to a hospital emergency room.
