Urgent Care
When illness or injury occurs, Vernon Memorial Healthcare Urgent Care provides quality medical care weekday evenings and weekends — without an appointment. Our walk-in clinic is a cost-saving alternative to the hospital emergency room when your regular clinic is closed. Urgent care is billed at a lesser rate than emergency care and is 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, visit Vernon Memorial Healthcare Urgent Care. Entrance to Urgent Care is through the Emergency entrance located on the backside of the building. We offer immediate care services and after-hours urgent care to ensure you get the help you need, when you need it.
