Immediate Care

Our Immediate Care Centers provide exactly what their name implies: prompt medical treatment for injuries and illnesses that don't involve serious medical emergencies.

There are three convenient locations: Glynn Immediate Care Center, Glynco Immediate Care Center and St. Simons Immediate Care Center.

Minor injuries and illnesses we treat

• Minor injuries, like sprains, cuts, burns, bee stings, sunburns and foreign objects in the eye, as well as all of life's bumps, bruises and pains that aren't life-threatening but need prompt attention
• Minor illnesses and their symptoms, like cold and flu, respiratory infections, urinary tract infections, fever, sore throat, ear ache, upset stomach, and allergies

We also offer:

• On-site diagnostics, including imaging and laboratory services, to expedite patient treatment
• Occupational medicine, including employer screenings and routine physical examinations

Caring, expert medical staff

Our Immediate Care Centers are staffed by providers trained in urgent care, internal medicine and family medicine. They are supported by nurses, imaging technologists and medical assistants who pride themselves on providing efficient, personable service — which goes a long way when you're under the weather.

When should I visit an Immediate Care Center?

In many cases, our Immediate Care Centers are faster and less expensive than an emergency room. It's important to know when they're most appropriate, and when you truly need emergency care.

If you need urgent medical treatment for a non-life-threatening condition and can't see your usual primary care physician — because you don't have one, they don't have any appointments, or it's after hours or a holiday — an Immediate Care Center is a good choice.

If, however, you (or a family member) experience any of the following symptoms, you should go to the nearest emergency room or call 911:

• Chest pain
• Dislocation of shoulder, hip, or knee
• High fever in an infant (101 degrees or higher in a baby under 3 months)
• Persistent or severe bleeding
• Persistent vomiting or diarrhea
• Severe allergic reaction
• Stroke symptoms, like weakness on one side of your body, difficulty speaking and understanding, and loss of consciousness
• Sudden, severe abdominal pain
