All too often, illness or injury can appear unexpected. You wake up in the middle of the night with abdominal pain. You slip and fall while carrying groceries up a flight of stairs, and can no longer put weight on your swollen ankle. Or your child experiences a high fever on the weekend.

When these situations occur, we’re often faced with uncertainty about where to go for care, especially if the symptoms seem severe and our regular doctor’s office is closed.

While the answer is not always simple, knowing the difference between urgent care and emergency care and where to seek treatment could save your life in a medical emergency.

San Juan Health Partners Urgent Care is a same-day clinic that can handle a variety of medical problems that need to be treated right away, but are not considered true emergencies. Symptoms that can be evaluated and treated here include:

• Minor illness or injury
• Cold and flu symptoms
• Sore throats, coughs, and earaches
• Sports injuries and minor cuts
• Sprains and simple fractures

San Juan Health Partners Urgent Care is open from 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. 7 days a week – including holidays. It is located at 4820 East Main Street in Farmington. 505.609.6495
