How do our services differ from an emergency room?
What is Urgent Care?
An Urgent Care facility provides treatment for minor emergencies, illnesses and injuries. FirstCare Walk-In Medical Center is a convenient alternative when you need immediate care and are unable to see your regular doctor or have no personal physician in Highland and New Paltz. We also provide comprehensive Employee Health Programs.
FirstCare is open every day, including most holidays, and provides a respectful, caring and comfortable environment.
We’re Here To Help.
