Our health care team provides you with the latest medical expertise you would expect from a larger city, but with the convenience and personal touches you can only find close to home.

Comprehensive and preventive healthcare for pediatric, adolescent, adult and geriatric patients is administered by our board-certified family medicine physician.

Same-Day Care

Same-Day Care is for non-emergent appointments for patients who become sick suddenly or sustain an injury and need to be seen quickly. The goal of these same-day appointments is to evaluate, treat and provide you with immediate healthcare services.

If your symptoms need to be treated quickly but are not life-threatening, scheduling a same-day appointment is typically the treatment option that will be the most efficient and least expensive (compared to an ER visit). Medical treatment is available for minor illness and injuries such as:  

• Allergies
• Burns and minor injuries
• Colds
• Cough
• Cuts
• Fever or flu-like symptoms
• Infections
• Possible broken bones
• Rash or other skin irritations
• Sore Throat
• Sports related injuries
• Sprains
• Vomiting or diarrhea

Call the Health Trust Physicians Clinic at (515) 462-2950, Monday-Friday to schedule a same-day appointment. On Saturday mornings, HTPC sees walk-in patients only, no appointments necessary. Wait times may vary.
