What happens during sick visits?

The Rapid Response Urgent Care team weighs you, checks your vital signs, and completes a physical exam during sick visits that assesses the problem you are having. You might need a nasal or throat swab, blood testing, urine tests, X-rays, or other imaging procedures to determine the specific illness you have and how to best treat it.

• Rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE)
• More fluids
• Intravenous (IV) therapy 
• Wound care
• Fracture care
• Inhaler
• Injections 
• Over-the-counter medications

If you have a severe illness or injury, the Rapid Response Urgent Care team may refer you to another specialist or hospital care.
