When to Go to Urgent Care

Sickness doesn’t always happen between 8-5. University of Utah Health offers urgent care at eight locations across the Wasatch Front. We’re open all day—plus weekends and evenings.  

Visit us when you need care right away for an illness or injury that isn’t life-threatening: 

  • Minor injuries like small cuts, sprains, or mild fractures 
  • Common illnesses like colds, flu, ear infections, or sore throats 

Urgent Care vs ER

Urgent care centers offer same-day treatment for health concerns that can’t wait for an appointment with your regular provider. Emergency departments handle complex or critical needs. 

Go to the emergency room or call 911 for life-threatening concerns: 

  • Chest pain, trouble breathing or signs of stroke 
  • Severe bleeding, serious head injuries, or loss of consciousness 
  • Sudden, severe pain or symptoms that threaten life or health
