Effingham Express Care is a walk-in clinic that offers ambulatory care in a comfortable environment. Urgent care centers specialize in treating illnesses and injuries that are serious enough that the patient would not want to wait for a doctor’s appointment, but not so serious that they require an ER visit. They offer longer hours than a doctors office, and they are in a convenient location. The facility features rapid testing, on-site X-ray and a range of common prescription medications to cover most needs. Families and employers alike are encouraged to use urgent care clinics to avoid the long waits to be seen at primary care physician office and avoid the stress of emergency room visits.
