Making your treatment even safer

Your safety is our priority.

When you visit your Bristol Urgent Care, you will be:

• Screened for potential signs of illness
• Required to wear a cloth face covering, which you will need to provide for yourself
• Allowed to have one visitor with you

In response to novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, we have created new services and processes that will forever improve and safeguard your care journey:

• Telehealth options that reduce your wait time, eliminate the need for travel and make it even faster and simpler to get the care you need
• Virtual waiting rooms so you can remain in your car until your appointment time
• Screenings to check everyone who comes inside for signs of illness
• Face coverings for every patient, visitor and team member
• Frequent cleaning and disinfecting of every public and patient care area
• Public areas carefully designed to provide ample space between people

Think you might have COVID-19?

Please call 833-822-5523 to be screened if yoou are concerned that you will may be ill with COVID-19. Our Ballad Health Nurse Connect Line is active 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

When it's an emergency

We always want to encourage patients to go to the ER when treatment is an emergency.

Ballad Health emergency rooms are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week for life-threatening emergencies, traumas and major medical conditions.

Symptoms such as chest pain, difficulty breathing, uncontrollable bleeding, loss of consciousness, sudden changes in vision, and couging or vomiting blood – to name a few important ones – are signs that you need to get to an ER.

Don't take any chances – in case of an emergency, call 911 immediately.
