Immediate care
Find immediate care when and where you need it
Immediate care is your go-to for minor health issues that require urgent care and attention but aren’t an emergency. It's a convenient option after hours or if you can't get in to see your primary care provider. Providers at our immediate care centers in Chicagoland can take X-rays and run lab tests as part of diagnosis and treatment.
