Why You Might Not Need Urgent Care

Urgent care is designed for non-life-threatening but urgent medical needs, like minor fractures, infections, or sudden illnesses.

But many visits are for issues that could be managed with self-care advice or a primary care follow-up—saving you time, money, and stress.

Common symptoms that often don't require urgent care:

  • Mild cold or flu symptoms

  • Stomach upset without severe dehydration

  • Minor rashes without spreading or pain

  • Mild headaches

  • Sore throat without trouble breathing
