St. Lawrence Health operates two urgent care centers, as well as new Virtual Urgent Care, for patients in need of diagnostics or treatment for acute, non-life-threatening injuries. In-person care is provided on a on a walk-in basis, and virtual care basically brings a provider to where you are. Extended hours are available for both in-person and virtual care into the evening after most primary care offices have closed. Upon examination, our providers can diagnose and treat your condition or refer you to your primary care provider, a specialist, or the emergency department for further assessment and treatment.
Our convenient urgent care centers are supported by providers from St. Lawrence Health, and virtual care is supported by SLH colleagues with Rochester Regional Health. If specific or technical care is needed following your Urgent Care visit, you may be referred to one of our specialists from within our network.
Urgent care is not an appropriate avenue for medical emergencies; for life-threatening conditions, please visit your closest emergency room or call 911 for immediate examination.
