Shasta Community Health Center's Urgent Care was created to fill the gap between the primary care clinic and the emergency room by meeting the needs of our patients who require immediate, non-life-threatening medical attention.
Your relationship with your primary care provider is very important, but sometimes urgent health care needs arise when your provider is not immediately available. We are here for you and your family’s immediate medical needs on a walk-in basis, no appointment needed.
What Happens if Urgent Care is Full?
During times of high volume, our schedule may fill up, and we’ll pause our acceptance of patients. If that happens, you may return to the next session, or we’re happy to help you find an appointment with your primary care provider.
