Following is some information to help you identify the right place to go for care, learn more about your options and schedule an appointment quickly and easily.

We have many care options available for you. Here are some tips to help you know when to contact a primary care provider, or when to go to a walk-in/urgent care clinic or Swedish ExpressCare Virtual clinic. For many health issues, it's best to call primary care first.

Be sure to use the MyChart secure online portal to schedule visits (including virtual visits), message your doctor, manage your prescriptions, and more. Visit MyChart or download the app today. You can also schedule any needed follow-ups while you’re there.

Go to a Swedish Urgent Care Clinic for issues like:

  • Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea
