Get better, sooner. Same-day care at UNM's Urgent Care—because sickness doesn't wait.
Urgent Care

- Colds and flu, pink eye, sore throats and coughs, ear pain and tooth pain
- Ingrown toenails
- Insect bites, rashes, hay fever and minor asthma attacks
- Minor cuts and burns, back pain and sprains
- Pain or trouble peeing
- Sick stomach

When to See Your Regular Provider
Urgent care is for treating minor problems that can’t wait. Please see your regular health care provider for long-term care, routine check-ups and tests, vaccinations and care for chronic conditions such as diabetes.
