Urgent Care — Acute Injuries
Urgent care provides easy access to quality healthcare for the times when emergencies arise or when your primary care provider is not available. At Cope Family Medicine | Ogden Clinic, our medical expertise and commitment to personalized attention ensure that patients with urgent health needs receive the very best care days, nights, weekends, and most holidays.
But it can be hard to tell if you should visit urgent care or the emergency room.
