Most District of Columbia urgent care centers handle non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries for adults and children: fevers, sprains, lacerations, infections, sports physicals, X-rays, lab tests, and minor procedures. Centers in larger cities often have on-site labs and imaging, while smaller community clinics offer more limited services.
UCL listed clinics in District of Columbia do not replace a primary care physician or a hospital's emergency department.

For chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe bleeding, sudden weakness, or any potentially life-threatening symptom, call 911.
