Where to go for health care

For common, minor illnesses and injuries, it is better to visit your primary care medical provider or urgent care instead of the emergency room. Neighborcare Health has medical and dental clinics across Seattle, and Olympia, many with evening and Saturday hours, walk-in, same-day or next-day appointments. Find a clinic. 

Neighborcare Health clinics with Saturday hours include Columbia CityMeridian, and Rainier Beach.

Go to urgent care when your primary care clinic is closed

Or go to urgent care if your condition may worsen if you wait. Type in "urgent care clinic near me" in an online search to find an urgent care clinic. 

Go to the emergency room for very serious or life-threatening illnesses and injuries 

If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency, call 9-1-1.
