The Northwestern Walk-In Clinic is a new option for treating minor (non-emergent) health care needs, with no appointments necessary. The clinic treats a wide range of conditions including: flu & colds, sore throats, fevers, sprains & strains, minor burns, x-rays and minor injuries, lacerations/stitches, immunizations, physicals for sports, camps & DOT, urinary tract infections, and more.
Convenience is key at the Northwestern Walk-In Clinic, featuring hours in the morning before work, during the day, after school, and into the evening. The Clinic is also open on Saturdays. The Clinic is open Monday - Friday, 7 am - 7 pm, or Saturday from 8 am - 2 pm.
Northwestern Walk-In Clinic provides an affordable alternative to the Emergency Department. An Emergency Department is designed for emergent needs and lifesaving care — making it an expensive choice for less urgent situations. Our Walk-In Clinic provides a more affordable alternative for non-emergent medical conditions.
NMC x-ray & mammography services are available within the Northwestern Walk-In Clinic. Digital mammography and x-ray technologies are more convenient than ever. Plus our MammoPad and digital mammography screening process offer the latest in comfort and technology. No appointments are necessary. However, an order form from a provider is required.
NMC also offers Performance Rehab services within the new space. Highly trained therapists with research based approaches and wonderful new equipment will help athletes get back in action and others to achieve their maximum performance.
