Walk-in Information
When our schedule allows, walk-in patients are accepted. Because we must see scheduled patients first, you may be asked to wait or to schedule an appointment for another date. We do our best to provide same day services to our valued patients, but we are not always able to do that based on patients with scheduled appointments. Please make an appointment today to make sure we can see you!
If you need emergency contraception (morning after pill), you can walk in any time the health center is open.
