Over the last few months, numbers of RSV, flu, and COVID-19 have been rising across the country, leading many to go to visit their local ER for relief. However, the ER needs to remain as open as possible to treat true emergency cases in a timely fashion, especially since these illnesses can have serious symptoms. So if you need medical attention, but it isn’t an emergency, come see us at Freedom Urgent Care. In addition to helping you manage these illnesses, we offer several convenient services to help ease this flu, cold and COVID-19 season.

At Freedom Urgent Care, our rapid testing services speed up the way we diagnose illnesses. With our on-site testing and labs, including tests for flu, COVID-19, strep throat, and RSV, we provide quick and accurate results in just minutes. This means faster diagnosis and treatment, allowing our patients to get the care they need promptly. Whether you’re experiencing symptoms or simply seeking peace of mind, our rapid testing ensures efficient and reliable health care.

In addition to helping you manage these illnesses, we offer online check-in and registration. This is a good option for those who want to be seen by a provider, but don’t want to spend a lot of time in the waiting room with other patients. Additionally, it’s great for those who are worried about spreading your illness to others or about catching something. This way, you can book your check-in time online in advance, arrive at Freedom Urgent Care, and already be in the queue, shortening your wait time.

Freedom Urgent Care is here to give you the care you need when you need it, and we strive to bring you the highest qualities of care and service so you can feel safe and secure when you visit us. In addition to flu vaccines and rapid testing, we also treat minor illnesses and injuries such as lacerations, sprains, strains, possible broken bones, and more. We’re also a part of Seton Medical Center’s wider network of care, so if you do need specialized care, or your symptoms are more serious than you expected, we can make sure you’re seen by the right people as soon as possible. If you need medical attention, but it isn’t an emergency, come see us at Freedom Urgent Care. To learn more about us, or to register online, simply call us or visit our website.
