Typical urgent care centers can be found either attached to a hospital or as a freestanding facility. These centers often provide basic healthcare services but also time-sensitive and non-life threatening emergencies. The term âurgentâ may lead someone to believe that a facility may be equipped to handle a potentially life-threatening emergency, but this is not often the case with urgent care centers.
The goal of most emergency medical services is to either provide treatment to those in need of urgent medical care, with the goal of satisfactorily treating the presenting conditions, or arranging for timely removal of the patient to the next point of definitive care.
