IMPORTANT: Urgent Care is not a replacement for preventive or emergency care. Veterans should work with the primary care provider for this type of care. While urgent care is a convenient benefit for non-emergent symptoms, Veterans should Always consider talking with or seeing their primary care provider if they are concerned the urgent care location will not understand the complexities of their medical history or medications.

  • When in doubt about your health condition or symptoms, Veterans should always seek a higher level of care, such as care from an emergency department. This is because they may have symptoms related to a serious health condition that an urgent care may not be able to adequately address.
  • If Veterans have a medical emergency, they should immediately seek care at the nearest emergency room. A medical emergency is an injury, illness, or symptom so severe that a prudent layperson reasonably believes that delay in seeking immediate medical attention would be hazardous to life or health.
  • If you believe your life or health is in danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department immediately.
