General
Are you coughing or sneezing, or do you feel tired or congested? Do you have a fever or a sore throat? Or, are you experiencing nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or other unpleasant symptoms of an illness?
If you’re feeling under the weather, you can turn to Yale New Haven Health Urgent Care for everyday illness treatment. We’re pleased to offer treatment for common illnesses to patients of all ages in Connecticut and New York. You can count on us to provide professional, fast, and friendly urgent care. We deliver an exceptional experience to every patient, every time.
At Yale New Haven Health Urgent Care, we treat a wide array of non-life-threatening illnesses, including:
While Yale New Haven Health Urgent Care offers treatment for common illnesses, we don’t treat life-threatening conditions. So, if you’re experiencing any signs of a medical emergency—for example, chest pain or difficulty breathing—you should call 911 or get to the nearest hospital as soon as possible.
When you’re experiencing one of the non-life-threatening illnesses described above, you have numerous options available to you for where to seek treatment. Your first thought may be to visit your primary care provider. But in many cases, PCPs are booked days, weeks, or even months in advance, which doesn’t help when you need prompt care.
If you’re not experiencing life-threatening symptoms, an emergency room probably won’t be your best bet, either. ERs prioritize treating life-threatening conditions like heart attacks and strokes, which means that patients seeking treatment for a more common illness usually end up having to wait for quite a while. Plus, ER bills tend to be very expensive.
So, where else can you receive everyday illness treatment? For many people, urgent care is a great alternative to PCPs and ERs. Urgent care centers are typically more accessible than primary care offices, and when compared to ERs, they generally offer shorter wait times and lower costs.
If urgent care sounds like the right option for your needs, the next step will be finding an urgent care provider you can trust. Here’s why you can feel confident partnering with Yale New Haven Health Urgent Care for illness treatment:
