4 Benefits of a Walk-in Clinic – April 3, 2021
Walk-in clinics and urgent care centers are one of the latest trends in healthcare. One Community Health is a leading affordable walk-in clinic in Sacramento. You don’t need to have an appointment and we will treat you regardless of your ability to pay. We believe that healthcare is a basic human right that everyone deserves. Read on to learn about the benefits of using a walk-in clinic before you go to the emergency room next time you or someone in your family needs care.
1. Opens up room in the ER
Emergency rooms are known for being overcrowded. Many people go to emergency rooms for issues that aren’t actually an emergency because they don’t know where else to go. That increases wait times for critical patients who are truly in need of emergency care. As an affordable walk-in clinic in Sacramento, we are able to take on non-emergent patients to help unclog the Sacramento emergency rooms, freeing up room and access to care for patients who really need it.
2. Saves you money
In general, walk-in clinics are much more affordable than a trip to the emergency room would be. And, in fact, we offer affordable healthcare to those who need it. We also accept a variety of payment options, depending on your ability to pay—including Medi-Cal and Covered CA. Emergency room bills quickly pile up, and even a visit for a simple sinus infection could end up becoming financially overwhelming.
3. You’ll receive great care
Unlike busy emergency rooms, our staff is dedicated to offering a level of care that makes you want to keep coming back. Our doctors and nurses are highly trained and qualified, so you won’t be sacrificing quality. And, unlike many urgent care centers, we offer primary care.

4. Saves you time
Walk-in clinics are designed to be efficient, while still providing a high standard of care. At an emergency room, you may end up waiting for hours. Walk-in clinics function on a first come first serve basis. You can be treated and given any medications you may need likely before you’d even be seen by a doctor in the ER. It also saves you time in your week. Many primary care offices are unable to get you in for an appointment right away—you could be waiting days or even weeks in some cases.
