Sick visits are appointments aimed at addressing acute (short-term) or urgent health concerns that require prompt attention. As a walk-in clinic, EMC Walk-In and Wellness has the flexibility to accommodate sick visits on short notice, without needing an appointment. The team prioritizes sick care, ensuring you receive the responsive attention you deserve when you feel unwell.
While you schedule a sick visit when you feel unwell, well visits are routine checkups that evaluate your health when you have no symptoms of illness. Both are necessary to track, monitor, and maintain your overall health and well-being.
Sick visits involve evaluating immediate symptoms and health concerns to restore your health as quickly as possible. Meanwhile, a well visit can detect health problems early on to ensure you remain healthy as you age.
You can visit EMC Walk-In and Wellness the moment you feel sick. The clinic has testing services onsite to provide the comprehensive care you need. Whether you need a rapid strep test or lab work, the clinic provides prompt and efficient testing and treatment for a variety of acute health concerns.
