INTRODUCING
Urgent medical
care for non-emergency patients
Convenience Care
We all have busy
schedules. Likewise, clinic hours don’t always match the timing
of minor illnesses or injuries. At LifeCare Medical Center we
understand this. That’s why we¹re pleased to offer Convenience
Care -- urgent after-hours medical attention to you and your
family for non-lifethreatening medical conditions. Convenience
Care is provided by the LifeCare Emergency Department. All
physicians, mid-level practitioners, nurses, pharmacists, lab
and x-ray professionals work in cooperation to make sure that
you receive the appropriate care.
Through our new
Convenience Care service, the same excellent personal care and
attention you receive during regular business hours is now
available on evenings and weekends.
This new service
provides a cost effective alternative to Emergency Care for
non-emergency injuries and illnesses, some of which include:
·
persistent coughs
·
small
cuts or lacerations
·
possible
sprains
·
pulled
muscles
·
ear aches
·
nausea or
diarrhea
·
fever
·
sore
throats
·
backaches
·
mild
infections
·
cold and
flu symptoms
This service is
not intended to replace visits with your regular healthcare
provider. To see your regular provider, please contact the Altru
Clinic in Roseau, Warroad, or Greenbush.
