Urgent

Care


When illness or injury occurs, VMH Urgent Care provides quality medical care weekday evenings and weekends — without an appointment. It’s a cost-saving alternative to the hospital emergency room when your regular clinic is closed, as Urgent Care is billed at a lesser rate than emergency care and covered by most insurance programs, including Medicare and Medicaid.

If you or a loved one are feeling ill or have sustained a minor injury and shouldn’t wait to see a healthcare provider, go to VMH Urgent Care. Our patients are seen by a medical provider just steps away from the VMH Emergency Department.
