Minor Injury and Procedure Care
One Convenient Stop After an Injury
A minor injury can still require timely attention. TGH Urgent Care powered by Fast Track combines provider evaluation with on-site capabilities that may help you avoid an unnecessary emergency-room visit for non-life-threatening injuries.
Injuries We Commonly Treat
The clinic evaluates a wide range of everyday injuries and accidents. If your condition appears serious or life-threatening, the team will direct you to emergency care.
Treatment May Include More Than an Exam
Depending on the injury, care may include imaging, wound repair, drainage, foreign-body removal, splinting, or other in-office procedures. Providers explain the recommended treatment and aftercare before proceeding.
