After-hours walk-in clinics are open when many other doctor’s offices are closed. They provide care for people who require urgent care for non-life-threatening medical concerns. They are also available to provide care for people who do not have a family doctor or cannot able to make an appointment with their family doctor. After-hours walk-in clinics will provide service to patients on a first-come basis.

A walk-in clinic is a clinic that provides medical care that is more affordable medical care than an emergency room. A walk-in clinic will often be located in or around retail businesses like pharmacies or in other convenient locations. These clinics will be staffed by nurse practitioners and physician assistants. Originally walk-in clinics were established to help people who were uninsured or underinsured to treat non-life-threatening health problems or common illnesses.

Walk-in clinics generally offer services on a first come, first served basis. They do not often take appointments. There are established to be convenient and affordable, treating minor injuries, colds, flu, strep throat, skin conditions, cuts, and other injuries. They can also provide immunizations, health screenings, and physicals.

Urgent care facilities are much like walk-in clinics but have added capabilities. Urgent care facilities can treat health issues that are more serious than those that walk-in clinics are prepared to handle. They are not equipped to deal with life-threatening concerns, however. The intent, as with walk-in clinics, is to provide medical services that are less expensive than emergency rooms.

Urgent care centers will usually be staffed with at least one doctor and have a physician available, they will also have other medical staff to attend to health concerns, as well. Urgent care facilities will also have certain lab testing equipment and x-ray equipment available that allow them to treat more severe conditions that walk-in clinics may not be able to handle.
