Urgent care is defined as the delivery of ambulatory medical care outside of a hospital emergency department on a walk-in basis without a scheduled appointment. Urgent care centers treat many problems that can be seen in a primary care physician's office, but urgent care centers offer some services that are generally not available in PCP's offices, for example: X-Ray facilities allow for treatment of minor fractures and foreign bodies. Minor traumas can also be treated at urgent care centers for minor and moderate laceration repairs. Urgent care center are not equipped however to manage severe or life threatening illness or injuries such as a heart attack, stroke, or amputations.
Urgent care centers provide significant savings to patients and insurers over the alternative of hospital emergency departments for episodic care that cannot be delayed until an appointment at a physician's office is available. In addition, their scope of treatment is more extensive than retail clinics (in-store clinics located in retail centers such as a drugstore) making the need for transfers (and additional charges and patient inconvenience) to a higher-level facility more unlikely. The CDC has reported that approximately 40% of visits to hospital emergency departments are for non-urgent or semi-urgent problems (more appropriate to urgent care). These problems aggravate the over-crowded emergency departments all over the country, and many would be better treated in an urgent care center.

The average wait times for Emergency Rooms in Florida is 72 minutes. Average wait time in a urgent care is less than 28 minutes.

ERs are busier than ever and it takes on average 4-6 hours before a non-emergency patient to be seen and treated.

We are able to treat over 88% of the patients who are seen at the ER. While Prompt Care is not appropriate for life threatening illnesses or injuries, we can treat minor and moderate level illnesses and injuries effectively, efficiently and affordable. We work closely with the local ERs to transfer a patient who might need the ER services, as well as primary care physicians that should a patient need admission to the hospital, we can arrange for a direct admission, based on bed availability, which avoids additional expense for the patient as they can avoid having to wait and be seen in the ER before their admission.

Spread of viruses is thought to spread mainly from person to person through coughing or sneezing by people with influenza. Sometimes people may become infected by touching something - such as a surface or object - with flu viruses on it and then touching their mouth or nose.

Flu symptoms in people can include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headaches, chills and fatigue. A significant number of people who have been infected with the virus also have reported diarrhea and vomiting.
