TOMAHAWK – Aspirus Tomahawk Hospital is now offering urgent care, providing timely treatment for non-life-threatening illness and injuries.
“We always want to do what is best for our patients and be here when they need us. When you suddenly need care, it can be very distressing,” said Carmen Viegut, director of nursing, Aspirus Tomahawk Hospital. “The urgent care option provides people with the assurance they can receive the health care they need when they just can’t wait.”
Urgent care is for problems that need to be treated right away but are non-life threatening, including conditions such as allergies, pink eye, rashes, upper respiratory infections, strains and sprains, ear infections, insect bites and cuts. Urgent care can also perform minor procedures, provide basic lab tests and imaging to help provide an accurate diagnosis and determine proper treatment.
Urgent care is available without an appointment, seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the emergency department entrance at the hospital, 401 Mohawk Drive.
