Walk-In Clinic

Walk-In Clinic for Urgent Medical Conditions

If you are experiencing life-threatening symptoms, please go immediately to the Southeast Iowa Regional Medical Center Emergency Department or call 911.

Walk-in clinics are a more affordable alternative to emergency care if the injury or illness is not life-threatening. Generally, the Walk-In Clinic offers the same basic services as a primary care provider. It is suitable for sudden health conditions when you can’t wait for an appointment or when other clinics are closed. We have on-site laboratory and X-ray services.

These and other symptoms are evaluated and treated:

Allergic reactions
Cuts, burns, bites
Eye irritation
Infections
Moderate fever
Painful urination
Rashes
Runny nose, sneezing, sore throat, cough
STDs (Fort Madison location only)
Sprains, strains, broken bones
Vomiting and diarrhea

Patients must be at least 6 months old to be seen at the Outpatient Services Plaza, West Burlington, and at least 3 months old at the SEIRMC, Fort Madison location. Women who are pregnant should seek help from their obstetrician or nurse midwife. Walk-in clinic providers don’t prescribe or refill pain medicine or long-term medicine. A provider at a primary care clinic or an emergency department may need to see you if you have several or complex health concerns.
