In the U.S., there are two types of medical facilities that offer emergency/urgent care.
Walk-in Clinic
Can be used for serious illnesses and emergencies, but they also treat less urgent cases. Good for evenings and weekends when the WellCat Health Center is closed.
In Chico, your walk-in clinic is: Enloe Prompt Care
Hospital Emergency Room
Only for very serious illnesses or emergencies. You will likely be taken to the hospital in an ambulance after calling 911.

The Golden Rule: Ask yourself - is this a serious medical emergency?
