Urgent Care

Urgent Care Centers provide a convenient option to treat non-life threatening, unexpected medical conditions or injuries for both adults & children. Some issues simply can't wait until your primary care doctor can see you, but many medical situations do not require an emergency room visit, or the associated wait time and expense. Urgent care centers provide our members with convenient access to high-quality medical care empowering patients to take better care of themselves and their families.

Sequoia Health is proud to cover visits at urgent care centers conveniently located throughout the greater Central Valley area. Many offer evening hours and/or weekend hours. Urgent care services in the area can be found at:
