It's a common dilemma. You or a loved one doesn't feel well. While the symptoms are not serious enough to warrant a trip to the emergency room, it's not always possible to make an appointment to see your physician. What will you do?
UI QuickCare might be the ideal answer. A new service offered by University of Iowa Family Care, UI QuickCare provides affordable, accessible health care on a convenient walk-in basis.
UI QuickCare services treat common ailments such as strep throat, earaches and the flu. The service is open to anyone age six months and older, even if they are not a UI Family Care patient.

"UI QuickCare doesn't replace patients' primary care physicians," says UI QuickCare Medical Director, Dan Fick, MD. "But it does provide care for some of the most common ailments without an appointment or lengthy waiting time – perfect for today's busy, fast paced lifestyles."
Care is provided by physician assistants and nurse practitioners connected to University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. Each UI QuickCare location is also electronically linked to the UI Emergency Treatment Center if more advanced care is necessary.
Insurance is not necessary, but is accepted. Cash, check, credit cards, and debit cards are also accepted. Payment is due at the time of service. |
