As a general rule of thumb, go to the Emergency Department (ED) when it seems life threatening, like a heart attack or poisoning. Go to the walk-in clinic when it is serious but not life threatening, and needs to be seen today, not tomorrow. Remember, call 911 if the situation seems immediately life threatening.
Of course, when you have a medical emergency, you need to be seen in the emergency department-immediately.
When to visit the emergency department:
From minor mishaps to sore throats, almost every family has pressing medical needs at times. Though they may not be emergencies, they need attention now.
When to visit the Walk-in Clinic:
The Walk-in Clinic is open 7-days a week. 307-688-WALK (9255)
Monday-Friday from 8 am - 8 pm
Saturday-Sunday from 8 am - 6 pm
Remember: an urgent care center like the Walk-in Clinic & Occupational Health is not a replacement for your primary care provider or the emergency department. Please visit the Find a Doctor section for physician information.
