Complete Medical Care for Unexpected Illnesses and Injuries

No one plans to have an accident or to need urgent care for a medical condition — and these issues always seem to arise at the wrong time. 

Getting a timely appointment with your primary care provider can be difficult, and many injuries or illnesses don't quite require a trip to the Emergency Department.

When these circumstances arise, Health Express is here for you.

Whether you don't have time to wait for an appointment with your doctor or need care for a sudden injury after your PCP's office as closed for the day, our team is ready to offer the expert care you need to get back to 100%

What do we treat at Health Express?

Because Health Express is part of South Shore Health, patients will have access to all aspects of a world-class community health system if their injury or illness requires further treatment.
