Question 1

What is urgent care?

Accepted Answer

An urgent care center is a walk-in clinic that provides health care for people with non-life-threatening conditions such as the common cold, infections, acute burns, allergic reactions, and more. Urgent care is an excellent option for patients who need to see a doctor when their primary care clinic is closed or need treatment without the wait.    The Crimson Care Network has three urgent care centers located in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
