Welcome to Urgent Care
When you need to be seen now for a non-emergent need, Northwestern Urgent Care offers access to exceptional care during evening hours, on weekends, and when your primary care provider is not available.
Please note:
- Patients with more severe symptoms will be prioritized and may change your estimated wait time.
- If all ‘reserve your spot in line’ visits are filled, we do accept walk-ins until our capacity is reached. Once capacity is reached, we will no longer be able to accept walk-ins. If you have a medical emergency, please call 911 or seek medical attention immediately.
How to reserve your spot in line:
St. Albans location
P: (802) 524-8911 x2
Georgia location
P: (802) 524-8911 x1
- Choose which Urgent Care location to visit based on your preference.
- Reserve your spot in line using the “reserve your spot in line” link.
- After you confirm your selection, you’ll receive a confirmation text to the mobile phone number you provided. We’ll also send text message alerts to the phone you listed, reminding you of your time slot and notifying you of any changes.
- Arrive at Urgent Care a few minutes before your time slot so you can register for the visit.
When to visit Urgent Care:
- Respiratory illnesses (including COVID)
- Sore throat

Remember:
- X-Ray services have resumed in Georgia, and the service is available Monday through Friday from 8:30 am to 5 pm.
- You will still have to wait in line to register for your visit. Scheduling your visit only pre-determines the time slot to be seen by a provider.
- You can visit Urgent Care without pre-scheduling your visit based on the expected wait times. Know that anyone who does schedule a visit will be given priority.
As always, if you’re having chest or abdominal pain, please call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.

Please contact your primary care provider or see the Vermont Department of Health website www.healthvermont.gov/covid-19/testing for up to date information on other testing options, including take-home antigen tests.
