The Acute Care Clinic, part of the Women’s Health Center, is designed to promptly address primary care issues and pregnancy complications for obstetrical patients. This clinic takes the place of what was once known as a walk-in clinic/sick call.
Accessing the Acute Care Clinic is done per a telephone consult which will then be communicated to an OB Triage Nurse. The Triage Nurse will either give you more self-care information on how to treat your symptoms, book an appointment that same day, or give you an appointment for the following day. Appointment booking is based on the urgency of your signs and symptoms.
