The right time to see a doctor is when it’s best for you. PeaceHealth puts your health first with multiple options for where to get care.

Most people should usually start with their primary care provider or pediatrician’s office. But if your regular care team can’t see you today, our immediate-care clinics are a great alternative.

These clinics offer care for health concerns that aren’t considered emergencies but that should be seen within 24 hours of when the injury happened or you first noticed symptoms. Immediate care is also an option for many things you may have thought about going to the ER for.

Most Priority and urgent care clinics offer:

• Extended hours
• X-rays
• Lab tests
• My PeaceHealth scheduling for current patients

This means you get the care you need in one place.

What to see us for.

Illness and injury can happen when you least expect them.

You can see us for immediate concerns such as:

• Asthma attacks
• Boils, cysts, abscesses, rashes, insect bites and other skin conditions 
• Injuries from falls
• Minor to moderate burns or cuts that need stitches
• Prescriptions to treat common infections (sinus, ear, urinary tract, strep throat, pneumonia, etc.)
• Sprains or breaks of hands, fingers, arms, toes or feet
• Sudden sharp or shooting pain that doesn’t go away (if you’re having chest pain, go to the emergency room)
• Symptoms of sexually transmitted diseases

Note: Are you having chest pain, difficulty breathing or severe bleeding? These may be life-threatening. Call 911 or go to the closest emergency room.

If you’re unsure where to go for care, learn more about your options.

Visit costs

Generally, what you pay changes based on the type of care you’re getting. Seeing your primary care provider or pediatrician costs less than going to the emergency room. Urgent care costs somewhere in between.

At PeaceHealth, our Mission calls us to make healthcare accessible to everyone. That’s why our Priority Care clinic visits cost the same as a PCP visit, even though the level of care is the same as a more costly urgent care visit.

Just like at your regular doctor's office, tests and X-rays may have an added cost.

You never will be turned away if you don’t have the ability to pay. We offer financial assistance (sliding fees) based on family size and income. To talk with one of our financial counselors about your options, call 877-202-3597. You can also check to see if your insurance is accepted.
