For the public, Physicians Immediate Care offers what is known outside of Illinois as "urgent care," i.e., a walk-in clinic that treats patients for non-life-threatening problems--such as sprains, strains, lacerations, fractures, pink eye, flu, bronchitis and colds. The facility has been inspected and is accredited by the Urgent Care Associatian of America. Physicians Immediate Care was the first facility in Illinois to be inspected and meet the rigorous standards of the Urgent Care Association of America Award of Distinction. Patients with true emergencies should be seen in hospital emergency departments, but the majority of patients, who need timely treatment can be evaluated and treated at Physicians Immediate Care.

For employers, Physicians Immediate Care offers a full range of occupational health services, including drug screening, post-offer exams, DOT exams, and treatment for workers compensation injuries.
