The Urgent Care Department is a 24-hour, seven day a week acute care service staffed around the clock by physicians, physicians associates and nurse practitioners trained to evaluate and treat most acute medical problems. Urgent Care provides expedient patient-focused ambulatory, non-scheduled medical care for minor illnesses and injury. Patients requiring care for more complex medical issues are transferred to the appropriate level of care.

- If uncertain about the severity of the problem you should call Urgent Care at (203) 432-0123.
- You will be advised either to call 911, to come to Urgent Care or to contact your primary care clinician.

FAQs
- What is an “urgent” problem?
"Urgent" problems are illnesses or injuries that require prompt care but will not generally cause loss of life or severe impairment if left untreated for a brief time. - What is an “emergency”?
"Emergency" refers to a situation where an illness is presently or potentially life threatening or threatens severe impairment if the patient is not seen immediately. For same day access please call your primary care clinician. - What do I do if I have a need to see someone today but it is not an “urgent” problem?
