Urgent Care

Urgent care provides more complex care than an office visit or a walk-in clinic, but not as extensive as an emergency department visit. When a medical condition requires administration of IV medications or more than a simple x-ray, patients are sent to the emergency department. At Parkview Southwest, our skilled emergency care providers and nurses are here to help determine the appropriate care for you.

Every Parkview Southwest patient is greeted by our ED staff and will be placed in one of our 14 patient care rooms, as if they were an emergency department patient. Our care team will assess the severity of their illness as soon as possible. Once the emergency medicine physician or advanced practice provider has evaluated the patient’s health condition, the level of care (urgent care or emergency care) will be determined, based on the medical care required.

Your care team at Parkview Southwest is made up of emergency care professionals, including skilled emergency care nurses, board-certified emergency medicine physicians and physician assistants.

If your medical condition only requires urgent care services and you arrive between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m., you or your insurance will only be billed for urgent care services.
