When unexpected symptoms show up—like a sore throat, fever, or minor sprain—getting quick medical attention can bring relief and peace of mind. That’s why River Family Health offers same-day acute care appointments for many common, non-emergency issues.
What Acute Care Can Address
Acute care services are designed for short-term health concerns that benefit from timely care but don’t require an ER visit. These may include:
- Colds, flu, or respiratory infections
- Urinary symptoms or minor GI issues
- Sprains, strains, or minor cuts
- Rashes, allergic reactions, or skin irritations
Conditions like these often show up suddenly, and it’s not always clear whether you should wait it out or get checked. Healthline outlines how primary care and urgent care differ—and how same-day access in a primary care setting can be the best of both worlds.
Why Choose River Family Health for Acute Visits?
Unlike walk-in clinics, we know your history. When you’re treated at River Family Health, your records, medications, and past care are already part of the conversation. That means you get faster care that’s better tailored to your situation.
Whether it’s a one-time concern or part of something we’re already monitoring, we’ll follow up as needed and keep your care plan up to date. Our acute care services are integrated with your primary care home for added continuity.
Scheduling and Support
We keep a portion of our schedule open for same-day appointments, because we understand that not everything can wait. If you’re unsure whether to come in, our team can help guide you. You can reach out here to check availability.
