Goshen Physicians launches online scheduling for urgent care

People in need of same-day medical care can now make appointments online for visits at Goshen Physicians Family Medicine & Urgent Care – 2824 Elkhart Rd, Goshen. It's an easy, convenient way to skip the line in the waiting room.
 
The online scheduling tool is available at GoshenUrgentCare.com. It gives real-time appointment openings for same-day visits with healthcare providers. Anyone may use the service to schedule an appointment for patients who are six months old or older. Walk-in patients may continue to come to the clinic to see a provider on a first-come, first-served basis.
 
"We’re excited to offer this new online scheduling option for urgent care,” said Randy Christophel, Goshen Health President and Chief Executive Officer. “Expanding digital and virtual technologies are an important component to meet the health needs of the communities we serve.”
 
The urgent care clinic offers patients access to medical care when their primary care provider is not available. Common conditions treated include colds, flu, ear infections and minor injuries, like cuts, sprains, burns and abrasions.
 
Urgent care providers also see, treat and test patients for COVID-19. Exam rooms are equipped with HEPA air filtration systems to prevent germs from traveling outside the room. Other safety protocols include masks, screenings and frequent surface cleanings.
 
Wellness visits are not available at the urgent care clinic. To find a primary care provider for routine preventive care, go to GoshenPrimaryCare.com.
