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, South Shore Health Urgent Care can provide you with the care you need.

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 start feeling better.

What do we treat at South Shore Health Urgent Care?

South Shore Health Urgent Care offers treatment for injuries and illnesses that require the attention of a medical professional but don't necessarily rise to the level of a trip to the Emergency Department.

From stitches after a kitchen accident or an x-ray after a big collision on the hockey rink, South Shore Health Urgent Care has been getting South Shore families back on their feet for years.

South Shore Health Urgent care can also connect you to a team of specialists, as needed, if your injury or illness requires further treatment.
