urgent care
Minor emergency facility
Urgent care is a category of medical facility that handles non-life-threatening conditions requiring immediate attention—injuries, infections, or symptoms too pressing to wait for a regular doctor's appointment but not severe enough for an emergency room.
These clinics typically offer walk-in service with extended hours: The cut needed stitches, so we went to urgent care.
