Urgent Care

Update: Erie Urgent Care will be closed Wednesday, March 29 and will reopen Thursday, March 30 at 8 a.m. For non-emergencies, please visit Erie Primary Care, Gunbarrell Family Medicine or Northwest Family Medicine. For emergencies, please visit the emergency departments at Foothills Hospital or Community Medical Center or call 911. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

The patient experience at our health care facilities is an important goal at BCH. That’s why we're encouraging those who need to visit our Erie Urgent Care Center to do so Tuesday through Thursdays, if possible, for routine visits or non-urgent needs. Wait times are often longer Friday through Monday.

When your doctor is not available or you can’t or don’t want to wait, our Erie Urgent Care Center offers walk-in treatment of common illnesses and minor injuries at a lower cost than an Emergency Department. Patients are seen on a walk-in basis, no appointments required.

BCH Urgent Care is open 7 days a week from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
