Critical Care
For a life-threatening illness or injury, we are one of few programs in South Carolina capable of treating the most severe medical problems.
Urgent Care
If you’re experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 immediately.
What is urgent care?
An urgent care center is a medical clinic with expanded hours that is specially equipped to diagnose and treat a broad spectrum of non-life and limb threatening illnesses and injuries, and can treat patients who are age six months and older. Urgent care centers are enhanced by onsite radiology and laboratory services and operate in a location distinct from a freestanding or hospital-based emergency department. Care is rendered under the medical direction of an allopathic or osteopathic physician.Urgent care centers accept unscheduled, walk-in patients seeking medical attention during all posted hours of operation, including evenings and weekends.
