Urgent Care Q & A

What is urgent care?

Urgent care gives you fast access to medical treatment. It’s designed for problems that need immediate attention but aren’t life-threatening.

If you have a severe injury or symptoms of a life-threatening condition like a heart attack or stroke, you should call 911 or go to your nearest hospital emergency room without delay. 

HAPI Medical Center’s experienced team offers urgent care services to all members of your family, from newborns to seniors.

When should I use the urgent care service?

Urgent care is for any injuries or illnesses that can’t wait for a routine appointment. Common problems the HAPI Medical Center team sees at urgent care consultations include:

  • Abdominal pain
  • Fevers
  • Flu and other respiratory tract infections
  • Skin rashes and hives
  • Urinary tract infections
  • Eye irritation or infections
  • Sore throats
  • Diarrhea and vomiting
  • Dehydration
  • Sprains and strains
  • Minor burns and scalds
  • Cuts and other wounds
  • Minor fractures

Many of these problems are treatable at home with sensible self-care and/or first aid. However, you should seek urgent care if your symptoms are severe, persist despite your best efforts, or worsen.

Anyone with an underlying health problem like diabetes or a circulatory disorder should call for advice earlier, as they’re more likely to develop complications. For example, if you have a lung disorder like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and get the flu, your risk of pneumonia is higher.

What services are available with urgent care?

HAPI Medical Center offers a comprehensive range of urgent care services. These include:

Diagnostics

Blood and other lab tests, urinalysis, and diagnostic imaging are available to help diagnose or evaluate your condition.

Prescriptions

Your urgent care provider can prescribe medications to treat your condition, including painkillers, anti-inflammatories, antibiotics, antivirals, and corticosteroids.

IV fluids

Intravenous (IV) fluids help you recover from dehydration. IV drips are also great for getting medications into your system quickly.

Fracture care

If you have a simple fracture in a small bone like a finger, your urgent care provider can set it and immobilize it with a cast.

Sports injuries treatment

If you suffer a sprain or strain, your HAPI Medical Center provider assesses the damage and applies strapping or a splint as necessary.

Stitches and dressings

Your HAPI Medical Center provider can stitch cuts where required and dress skin damaged by scrapes, burns, and scalds.
