Personal Health Care Services
You can also receive personal health-care services at the onsite clinic. The Acute Care Clinic offers personal healthcare for minor illness and injuries, such as sore throat or flu symptoms, rash, joint sprains, urinary tract infections. You may visit the clinic for a flare-up or complication from a chronic condition that requires immediate treatment with referral to follow up with your primary care provider. Personal health-care services are also offered by referral for allergy shots, physical therapy, laboratory work, and X-rays.
