Masking Policy
We are seeing an increase in very sick kids and teens. To help limit the spread of illness, all visitors over the age of 2 are required to wear a mask in our Urgent Cares and Emergency Departments.
Learn MoreWhen injuries and illnesses happen, it’s important to know where to take your child.
When your child has a minor injury or illness and your family’s pediatrician is not available, our Urgent Care Centers are here for you, especially on evenings, weekends and holidays.
Our Emergency Departments are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, when your child has a serious or life-threatening condition.
In case of an urgent concern or emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department right away.

Save Your Spot in Line
Visiting an Urgent Care? Get in line ahead of time and save time in the waiting room.
To save your spot in line:
- Choose your desired location, complete the fields, and let us know how long until you arrive.
- Note: Saving your spot in line is not an appointment. If you’re experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
- Head to your location and check-in at the front desk.
- Note: If you arrive more than one hour after your selected arrival time, you may lose your place in line.
We still accept walk-in visits.
Children are not small adults. Unlike most urgent care centers and retail clinics, our pediatric Urgent Care Centers have doctors and nurses who are specially trained to diagnose and treat your growing child or teen. Our doctors can communicate directly with your child’s doctor, informing him or her of any test results or procedures that were performed so the doctor can update your child’s medical records and provide follow-up care, if needed.
Our pediatric Urgent Care Centers offer:
- A pediatrician on staff
- Staff specially trained to diagnose and treat kids, teens and young adults from birth to age 21*
- Walk-in hours seven days a week, including evenings and holidays
- Lab and X-ray services to quickly diagnose your child’s minor illnesses and injuries with up to 50 percent less radiation than some adult facilities
- Fracture care for growing bones, with access to pediatric orthopedic specialists
- Access to the Children’s network of doctors and pediatric specialists
- Electronic submission of prescriptions to your pharmacy
*We treat children and young adults through age 20 until they reach 21 years of age.
