Urgent Care

When your child needs urgent care for things like X-rays, stitches, and illnesses that aren't life-threatening but need medical attention the same day, you'll find the medical care you need at a Cook Children's urgent care clinic. With urgent care locations open late 7 days a week, you get more than urgent care – you get quality care from pediatric experts – because our urgent care centers aren't just kid friendly, they're kid only.
