Conditions We Treat
Carthage Walk-In Clinic can assist families to find care for their non-life-threatening conditions. With a focus on compassionate services using the best care practices available, patients can access treatment for a variety of health conditions, including:
- Vomiting or diarrhea
- Dehydration
- Falls and accidents
- Urinary tract infections (UTI)
- Minor cuts that require stitches

If a patient is experiencing a severe injury, chest pain, or other serious symptoms, they should visit the nearest emergency room. While the walk-in clinic can treat mild conditions, it does not have the resources to treat severe issues. When a serious medical problem occurs, patients should head straight to the emergency room. If a patient visits the walk-in clinic with a life-threatening condition, they will have to be sent to the emergency room regardless. Visiting the emergency room first can save time and help patients get treatment even quicker.
Non-Emergency Medical Services
The extensive team of nurses, physicians, and other medical professionals can handle a variety of mild infections, injuries, and illnesses. With the tools and resources to treat many non-life-threatening medical conditions, the Carthage Area Hospital facility provides:
Regular Medical Care
If a patient needs their yearly check-up and physical, the walk-in clinic can provide primary care. In addition, if a patient is uncomfortable visiting the office, they can complete video and telephone appointments to receive treatment for their condition.
