Urgent Care Awareness Week November 14-20
WARRENVILLE, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Urgent care centers around the country will be celebrating the fourth annual Urgent Care Awareness Week November 14-20th. The goal of Urgent Care Awareness Week is to help educate communities – individuals, families, groups, primary care physicians and emergency departments - about urgent care and how urgent care centers can help serve their healthcare needs.
Urgent care centers provide walk-in, extended-hour medical care for minor to moderate illness and injury that needs treatment immediately – but does not belong in an emergency department. With limited availability of primary care, over-crowded ERs and rising healthcare costs, urgent care is an essential care option for all communities.
Urgent care centers provide treatment for conditions such as cuts and lacerations, sprains/strains, colds, fever, seasonal and H1N1 influenza, insect bites, ear infections, rashes, back aches, vomiting and diarrhea, stomach aches, simple fractures, and many other illnesses that are not life or limb threatening.
