Urgent Care

When an unexpected illness or minor injury disrupts your day, it’s not always easy to know whether to head to Urgent Care or the Emergency Room. At Sioux Center Health, we understand that uncertainty — and we’re here to help you make the right call. Urgent Care is designed for those non-life-threatening issues that still need prompt attention, like sprains, fevers, minor cuts, or infections. It’s a convenient walk-in option that gets you the care you need. Let us take the guesswork out of where to go, so you can focus on feeling better.

What is Urgent Care?

Urgent Care Clinic is available in the evening and on weekends by our advanced practice providers who offer access for unexpected injuries and illnesses without an appointment. Many situations are not emergencies but require urgent medical attention. Contact your insurance provider for questions about coverage.
