The weekend walk-in clinic at Farrington Family Medical Center is a great service for those sudden injuries and illnesses that just can't wait for an appointment. You can simply visit the clinic beginning at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday, to obtain care for your urgent medical needs. No appointment is necessary and services are available on a first-come, first-served basis; therefore, waiting times may vary.

Urgent care includes many types of illnesses or injuries that need prompt attention, but aren't likely to result in loss of life or severe impairment. Although this is not a complete list, here are examples of urgent medical situations:

• Cuts that may require stitches.
• Injuries such as sprains and non-displaced fractures.
• Minor illness such as upper respiratory infections, allergies, bronchitis, gastroenteritis and urinary tract infections.
