Urgent care is a valuable resource for those times when you need immediate medical attention, but your primary care provider isn’t available. Our urgent care clinic is staffed with experienced providers and nurses who provide testing, diagnosis, treatment, and prescriptions for a wide range of injuries, or illnesses. 

Major attention for minor emergencies 

Our urgent care is open seven days a week, offering thorough care for any ailment that requires timely attention, but may not be serious enough for an emergency room visit. This includes:

  • Coughs, colds, flu, and COVID-19
  • Cuts and lacerations
  • Earaches
  • Minor burns and sunburns
  • Rashes, poison ivy, and other skin irritations
  • Sore throats and strep symptoms
  • Sprains and strains

For any life-threatening situations, such as signs of a heart attack or stroke, head trauma, or severe wounds, please call 911 to be taken to our emergency room at Adventist Health Portland.
