When your child, you, or a loved one gets a bad sunburn, dehydration, falls, breaks a bone, or gets overheated, it can be quite scary, and the emergency room is not a place that most of us want to sit around waiting for hours on end. Fortunately, there is another option! Urgent care clinics are an excellent alternative to the ER unless of course, it’s a life-threatening situation. However, urgent care facilities can treat many injuries or illness from, broken bones, sore throats, poison ivy rashes, and stomach viruses to giving tetanus shots and taking x-rays.
