Our Tampa Family Health Clinic Works Around Your Busy Schedule

Little girl holding a doll while receiving a shot from a medical provider at a family health clinicIf you live in Tampa, Florida, family health clinics are not hard to come by. But how many local urgent care centers have Board-certified or Board-eligible physicians available every day during extended hours? South Tampa Immediate Care does! We know that illnesses and injuries can happen at highly inconvenient times, and we’re here for you. This is important because many non-life-threatening conditions simply can’t wait the weeks it might take to secure an appointment with a primary care physician, or the hours it would likely take to be seen in a hospital emergency room.

Reserve the ER for True Emergencies

According to the American College of Emergency Physicians, nearly 300,000 Americans visit an ER every day, and most of those visits are for non-life-threatening health concerns that could be handled by a family health clinic, such as:

  • Upper respiratory and sinus infections
  • Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea
  • Earaches and ear infections
  • Coughs and sore throats
  • Allergies and skin rashes
  • First-degree burns
  • Sprains and strains
  • Minor fractures
  • Cuts, wounds, and lacerations that need stitches
  • Urinary tract infections (UTIs)

In addition to the crowds in an ER, there are other reasons you would likely face an extended wait to be seen. For instance, hospital emergency providers are required to use a triage system to ensure that patients with the most urgent needs are seen first, regardless of the time they arrive. Although undeniably necessary, the triage system puts patients with non-emergency needs at the bottom of the waitlist. If you don’t truly need an ER, you don’t need to get in line.
