What is urgent care and when is it needed?

Urgent care is a type of medical service intended to meet acute health needs that do not rise to the level of a life-threatening emergency. One way to think about whether urgent care is a good fit for your needs is to consider whether your symptoms will allow you to comfortably wait to be seen during a traditionally scheduled appointment. 

To be clear, there are certain circumstances where emergency care is the best course of action. If you experience any of the following, come in for emergency services:

• Chest pain
• Shortness of breath
• Uncontrolled bleeding
• Visibly broken bones
• Loss of consciousness

Fortunately, Memorial Springs ER offers both emergency care in addition to urgent care. That means you and your loved ones are covered no matter what. 

What kinds of health issues can be treated in urgent care?

Urgent care spans a wide variety of health needs. Here are just a few of the health issues that can be treated during an urgent care visit:

• Fever
• Cough
• Sore throat
• Skin rash
• Urinary tract infection
• Minor burns
• Minor lacerations
• Sprains and strains
• Insect bites and stings

When you’re not feeling well, there’s no need to wait until you can get in for a scheduled appointment. Memorial Springs ER offers a team of wonderful professionals who can deliver the services you need when you need them. 

How should I prepare for an urgent care visit?

Just like with any medical visit, a few moments of preparation can help you make the most of your visit. You should always be prepared to share the full details of your personal and family health history. 

Your health history can play a critical role in shaping your treatment plan if your symptoms might be linked to heart health, diabetes, or another form of chronic disease. 

Provide a comprehensive list of any medications you’re taking, including dosage. Don’t forget to include supplements, as these can have a direct impact on prescribed medication. 

Finally, it’s easier said than done, but try to remain calm as you seek out urgent care services. You can rest assured you are in the best of hands at Memorial Springs ER, where help is available for babies, children, teens, and adults of all ages. 

No appointment is needed, but if you prefer to call and schedule a visit, that’s an option, as is online pre-registration.
