At PrimeHealth Urgent Care, we strive to provide comprehensive healthcare services, which include care for chronic health conditions. While urgent care is often associated with immediate, non-life-threatening conditions, PrimeHealth Urgent Care extends its services to managing ongoing health issues as well. Our medical team is equipped with the necessary knowledge and resources to provide effective treatment and management strategies for a variety of chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and asthma.
 
Having said that, PrimeHealth Urgent Care also operates a primary care department, designed to address long-term health conditions and provide regular check-ups. Our primary care physicians work closely with patients to manage their chronic conditions, adjusting treatment plans as necessary and providing preventive care to ward off potential complications. So, whether it’s an urgent, immediate need or a chronic illness, PrimeHealth Urgent Care is ready to deliver high-quality healthcare services tailored to meet each patient’s unique needs.

Yes, at PrimeHealth Urgent Care, we are equipped to act as your primary care provider as well. Our team of skilled medical professionals is trained to manage a wide range of health concerns, both acute and chronic. We offer preventive care services including routine physicals, vaccinations, and health screenings. Additionally, we can help manage ongoing health conditions by coordinating with specialists, adjusting medications, and monitoring your overall well-being. However, we also continue to serve as an urgent care facility, providing immediate care for non-life-threatening emergencies. Thus, PrimeHealth Urgent Care offers the convenience of two vital healthcare services under one roof, enhancing our commitment to comprehensive, patient-centered care.

While both urgent care centers and emergency rooms (ERs) provide immediate medical attention, they are not the same. In fact, they serve distinctly different roles in the health care system. ERs are designed to treat severe, life-threatening conditions and are equipped for complex procedures and surgeries, whereas urgent care facilities like PrimeHealth Urgent Care are designed for non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries that require immediate attention but not emergency intervention. We provide prompt care for a wide array of conditions such as minor fractures, sprains, burns, and illnesses like the flu or strep throat. However, for major trauma, potential heart attacks, strokes, or other severe health issues, it is crucial to go to an ER. Understanding the difference can save precious time, resources, and potentially, a life.

While urgent care facilities are equipped to handle a broad scope of minor medical concerns, they are not typically set up for performing major surgeries. Procedures carried out in urgent care centers are usually limited to minor surgical procedures such as wound suturing, abscess drainage, and removal of foreign objects. More complex surgeries often require a specialized environment and resources found in hospitals and surgical centers, and thus should not be expected at an urgent care clinic. That said, if you arrive at PrimeHealth Urgent Care with a condition that requires surgical intervention beyond our scope, our staff will stabilize your condition and promptly arrange for you to be transferred to an appropriate medical facility.
