What’s the Deal with Urgent Care
A few years ago, I was walking up Myrtle Avenue out of Bushwick and into Ridgewood on my way home. On the corner of Myrtle and Madison Street where there used to be a furniture store, there was a clinical looking office. The words urgent care were written in bright bold letters on the glass.
Many of us have heard of urgent care in theory but I’m not sure we really understood what it meant. I wanted to know if this clinic was connected to a hospital or if it was a mini hospital. I didn’t find a lot of information online at the time and was confused if it was a place that did regular checkups, or if I could go there for emergencies. I wondered if they took insurance, and the different kinds services they offered.
