Urgent Care at Our Houma Location

Let’s take a closer look at our urgent care services here at our Houma, Louisiana walk-in clinic.

What Is Urgent Care?

Urgent care is a way for people to receive timely treatment for a health condition without making a trip to the ER.

Why not just go to a traditional physician’s office in that case? That could take days or even weeks to schedule. Many people don’t have time in their busy schedules to sit around and wait to get adequate medical treatment.

Urgent care centers provide convenient and reliable same-day care for many common conditions and ailments.

Urgent Care Conditions Treated at Our Houma Urgent Care Location

You may choose to visit our Houma location to receive medical care for any of the following non-life-threatening illnesses and ailments:

• Accidents and falls

• Flu and cold

When To Go to an Emergency Room

It’s not always the right call to go to an urgent care clinic. If your health condition is considered life-threatening, it’s crucial that you get to your closest hospital as fast as possible. ER teams are better equipped and staffed to handle the events listed below:

• 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 Houma Location

Below is more information about our telehealth services in Houma.

What Is Telehealth?

Telehealth services provide patients with a virtual portal (in the form of a smartphone, tablet, or computer application) where they can schedule video chats with their providers and access their personal medical information. This can all be accomplished from the comfort of your own couch.

What Conditions Does Telehealth Treat?

Since telehealth reduces the number of trips to in-person clinic visits, it’s great for monitoring long-term conditions with your provider.

It is also commonly used to get remote treatment for minor to moderate conditions (flu, colds, viruses, infections, rashes, allergies, and more). This comes in the form of medication or protocol prescriptions.

Benefits of Telehealth at Fast Pace Health

Patients love our telehealth services for the flexibility it provides them. The app is simple to use, and we always have a lot of open time slots for virtual visits. Just register online, and you’ll be ready to hop on a call with us.

Prevention and Wellness Care at Our Houma Location

What Is Prevention and Wellness Care?

Prevention and wellness care can be summed up as healthcare that takes place when you’re healthy — it’s important because it helps you avoid problems that may affect you down the line. Typical preventative procedures include check-ups, vaccinations, lab testing, and health screenings.

Benefits of Prevention and Wellness Care at Fast Pace Health

Although getting a yearly check-up is great, there is a lot more you can do to boost your current health.
