When should I use urgent care instead of calling 911?
These urgent care locations are not emergency departments. Major head trauma, chest pain, severe abdominal pain, loss of consciousness, or other life-threatening symptoms require 911 or a hospital emergency room.
What ages can these urgent care clinics treat?
AFC Urgent Care treats patients ages 2 and up, while NHRMC Urgent Care treats patients ages 6 months and older at its in-person locations.
How quickly can flu, COVID-19, strep, or RSV testing be completed?
AFC Urgent Care states that its in-house flu, COVID-19, strep, and RSV tests can produce results in less than 20 minutes.
Can I get urgent care virtually in North Carolina?
NHRMC offers virtual urgent care 24 hours a day, seven days a week to patients physically located in North Carolina, South Carolina, or Virginia.
