When you need urgent care
It is well documented that urgent care clinics are a growing trend in
the medical industry. Walk in clinics are not simply “first aid stations.” They
offer ancillary services such as imaging and lab services that your doctor
would send you out for to begin with. We all can remember going in to a
doctor’s office for a medical problem, and then being sent to another facility
for lab work and/or x-rays. It is interesting to note that older patients, who
have developed a life-long tradition and comfort in visits to their regular
doctors, are increasingly in favor of walk in clinic services. We want to offer
some very valid reasons why more Baby Boomers may find urgent care and walk in
clinics to be “just what the doctor ordered.”
Care for chronic conditions
- Healthcare professionals predict that by 2030, 6 out of every 10 Baby Boomers will be dealing with a chronic condition.
- If you have a chronic condition, you must deal with it virtually all the time. Some days will be good, but the reality is that chronic conditions can flare up at any time, causing severe pain, discomfort, or a halt to normal daily activity.
- If your doctor’s office requires that appointments be set up days or weeks in advance, this can make ongoing treatment difficult.
- Urgent care centers are perfect for this scenario because a patient with chronic issues can walk in and be treated at a moment's notice.
