What is Urgent Care?
Urgent care is a convenient urgent care service for illnesses and injuries that need prompt attention but are not life-threatening, helping bridge the gap between primary care, virtual care, and the emergency room. CHRISTUS Health urgent care clinics make it easier to get timely, affordable treatment when you need care sooner than a routine appointment but don't require emergency services.
Benefits of urgent care include:
- Treatment for common illnesses, injuries and other minor urgent needs
- Walk-in access with no appointment required
- Extended evening and weekend hours at many locations
- A more cost-effective option than an emergency room visit for non-life-threatening conditions
- Convenient care close to home
