Sudden illness or minor injury often requires prompt attention, but urgent care clinics can feel crowded and impersonal. Short visits may leave patients unsure about their diagnosis or next steps.
Embrace Health & Wellness offers same-day and urgent care appointments focused on careful evaluation and continuity. Kelly Bailey MSN, APRN, FNP-C provides unhurried visits that allow symptoms to be fully assessed and questions addressed. Urgent care appointments are part of our comprehensive care lineup.
Respiratory Infections
Respiratory infections such as cough, congestion, shortness of breath, and fever are common reasons people seek urgent care. Evaluation focuses on understanding symptom severity, duration, and underlying risk factors. Care may include physical examination, testing when appropriate, and guidance on treatment and recovery. Clear instructions help patients know what to expect and when to seek further care.
Cold, Flu, COVID-19, RSV, Strep Throat, Sinus and Ear Infections
Upper respiratory and viral infections can cause overlapping symptoms, making proper evaluation important. Visits focus on identifying the likely cause through symptom review and testing when needed. Treatment plans are based on current guidelines and individual health factors, with education on symptom management and preventing spread to others.
Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)
Urinary tract infections can cause discomfort and worsen quickly if untreated. Evaluation includes reviewing symptoms such as pain, frequency, or urgency and determining whether an uncomplicated infection is present. Treatment is guided carefully, with follow-up instructions to ensure symptoms resolve and to reduce the risk of recurrence.
Skin Conditions
Acute skin concerns such as rashes, minor infections, insect bites, abscesses, and allergic reactions often benefit from timely evaluation. Care focuses on identifying the cause, reducing inflammation or infection, and promoting proper healing. Patients receive guidance on home care and signs that may require additional follow-up.
Minor Injuries
Minor injuries like cuts, sprains, minor lacerations, and simple wounds are assessed to determine the extent of injury and proper treatment. Care includes wound cleaning, basic injury management, and education on healing and infection prevention. This approach helps avoid unnecessary emergency room visits while still addressing concerns safely.
Gastrointestinal (GI) Symptoms
GI symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, and dehydration can disrupt daily life and cause concern. Evaluation focuses on symptom severity, hydration status, and potential triggers. Care may include treatment recommendations, hydration guidance, and monitoring for warning signs that require further evaluation.
