When is UHS Walk-In the right choice?
- When your family physician is unavailable
- When you are feeling ill or hurt

Walk-In Centers are convenient:

We encourage you to choose the primary care doctor (who may be a family practitioner or internal medicine specialist) who best meets your family’s specific needs and philosophy about health care. But sometimes you need care when your doctor isn't available but the emergency room isn't necessary. That's when a UHS Walk-In Center is for you.
