Acute Care Q & A
What acute care services are available?
The team at the Concord Health and Wellness Center offers comprehensive acute care services for all members of your family.
One of the most common reasons people need acute care services is to diagnose unexplained symptoms like:
- Pain
- Fever
- Swelling
- Sore throat
- Vomiting
- Cough
- Ear pain
- Shortness of breath
- Diarrhea and constipation
You can also schedule an acute care evaluation if you suffer injuries from a fall or during sports and physical activity. Treatment is also available for minor cuts and burns.
The Concord Health and Wellness Center staff recommends scheduling an acute care visit if you have symptoms that aren’t resolving with home care, rest, over-the-counter medications, or if your symptoms are worsening over time instead of getting better.
Acute care visits are especially important for infants and young children, especially if they develop a sudden or high fever, to prevent additional health issues.
What can I expect during an acute care appointment?
During a diagnostic evaluation, your Concord Health and Wellness Center provider reviews your personal and family medical history and discusses your symptoms.
You can also expect a problem-focused physical exam to evaluate your acute concern, with a special focus on areas of pain or swelling.
The team at Concord Health and Wellness Center can order blood work, imaging, or perform a test such as a rapid strep, RSV, flu, mono, or urinalysis tests to identify the possible causes of your symptoms. Once your provider confirms your diagnosis, they tailor a treatment plan to your needs.
What treatments are available for acute conditions?
The Concord Health and Wellness Center offers a variety of treatments to address injuries and acute illnesses. The team can provide prescription and alternative medicines to relieve symptoms and prevent additional health complications.
Depending on your needs, your provider may recommend a follow-up appointment to monitor the progress and success of your treatment.
For symptoms that relate to an underlying chronic condition, like diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, COPD, and asthma, the Concord Health and Wellness Center offers comprehensive chronic care management services.
