Urgent Care at Our Etowah Location

Let’s take a closer look at our urgent care services here in Etowah.

What Is Urgent Care?

Urgent care centers provide the flexibility and timeliness of emergency rooms without the high costs. They also provide many of the services that your typical physician’s office provides, but without the scheduling hassle and inaccessibility.

This relatively new form of healthcare has become a reliable and convenient option for many Americans who live in underserved communities.

You may choose to visit our Etowah location to receive medical attention for any of the following:

Benefits of Fast Pace Health Urgent Care

Our urgent care facilities come with a variety of benefits.

Accessible

Our walk-in clinic is centrally located in Etowah, Tennessee, making it easier for all members of the Etowah city and McMinn county communities to reach us. We’ve also eliminated the hassle of scheduling — just show up anytime we’re open, and you’ll be seen by a provider for any condition you may be dealing with.

Flexible Hours

One of the worst aspects of private doctor’s offices and medical clinics is their typically limited hours of operation. We remain open into the evening on weekdays so that you can come whenever is most convenient for your busy schedule. We also offer weekend hours for extra flexibility.

Fast

When you do come to see us, you can count on being in and out in a timely manner. You’ll receive the medical care you need and leave with enough time to get on with the rest of your day — no need to block off an entire morning or afternoon to get help.

Affordable

It’s important to us that we support the entire Etowah community. This means making all services as financially accessible as possible. We accept insurance and can set up payment plans for those who are paying out-of-pocket.

Quality Care

Nothing about the convenience of our urgent care walk-in clinic indicates a lack in the quality of the care you’ll receive. We select extensively qualified providers who share our vision of healthcare — compassionate, individualized, patient-centered care.

When To Go to an Emergency Room

Our medical center is equipped and staffed to handle urgent health matters — however, we are not the appropriate option for medical emergencies. Get to your nearest hospital or ER, or dial emergency services if you or a loved one is experiencing something life-threatening.

Some common examples of medical emergencies include:

• Loss of consciousness
• Seizures or convulsions
• Deep wounds with uncontrollable bleeding
• Issues during pregnancy
• Severe burns
• Life-threatening injuries
• Poisoning
• Severe abdominal pain or chest pain
• Difficulty breathing
• Heart attack or stroke symptoms
• Suicidal or homicidal thoughts

Telehealth at Our Etowah Location

Below is more information about our medical group’s telehealth services in Etowah.

What Is Telehealth?

The remote capabilities of telehealth proved themselves to be extremely valuable and useful during the COVID-19 pandemic. These advantages of telehealth have caused it to stick around and become a prominent healthcare service.

With computers, smartphones, and tablets, we can now leverage technologies to connect patients to their providers virtually. With telehealth, you can get quality care from the comfort of your own home.

What Conditions Does Telehealth Treat?

Via video chat, you can speak with your doctor about common illnesses that don’t require hands-on treatment.

Flu and cold symptoms, viruses, infections, rashes, and allergies, among other ailments, can typically be treated with telehealth. Medications can be prescribed remotely, and patients can also access their medical records if they are monitoring a more long-term condition.

Benefits of Telehealth at Fast Pace Health

Once you register in your home state, you’ll be able to easily schedule a virtual visit with one of our providers. We want to maximize our accessibility for everyone — especially those with limited mobility and those who are limited in time or transportation.
