Acute Care Appointments

If you are experiencing a problem and need urgent care, you may be seen for an acute care appointment if one or more of the following applies to you:

• Pregnant
• Less than 8 weeks after childbirth
• Have had surgery or a clinic procedure by one of our OB/GYN physicians within the last 30 days

To schedule an acute care appointment call 288-8133, Monday – Friday (no Holidays or training holidays) from 7 a.m. – 9 a.m. except Thursdays 9 a.m. – 11 a.m. After 9 a.m., any remaining appointments will be scheduled for the same day or the next day if necessary.

Patients are given appointment times in the Acute Care Clinic to help decrease wait times. Please remember that acute care appointments are partly triaged based. If a woman walks in with a problem that threatens her pregnancy, she may be moved before other patients with less serious complications.
