Can I see a provider today?
We have same day appointments available every day for injury or sudden illness. Appointments are preferred for wellness checks, chronic health conditions, etc. We know everyone has a busy schedule, so we do our best to get you seen as soon as possible and to help you avoid having to visit the emergency room.
Call the clinic you’d like to visit for an appointment. If you become ill when the clinic is not open, and you feel you cannot wait until the next clinic day, call 911, or go to the nearest hospital Emergency Department.

Do I need an appointment to get a prescription renewed?
In general, the answer is yes. You may call to request a telephone consultation by a nurse or your provider, but usually you will need to be seen. If you call or leave a message for a prescription refill, please allow 2-3 days to complete your request. Please plan ahead so you do not run out of your medications when we are closed.

Are Spanish -speaking providers available?
Yes, we have both English- and Spanish-speaking providers. Be sure to specify that you need a Spanish-speaking provider when you make an appointment. Often, the volunteers do not speak Spanish, so you will need someone who speaks English to make your appointment.
