In-Person Advanced Urgent Care

Kaiser Permanente 24/7 Advanced Care Centers

Get quality, coordinated care and under-one-roof convenience 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. When you visit a Kaiser Permanente 24/7 Advanced Care Center, you’ll get care from our own, highly-trained physicians and nurses. They’ll have access to your medical record to help personalize your care. You’ll even be supported by advanced technology like MRI and CT scans, plus X-ray, lab and pharmacy services—all under one roof!

More than Urgent Care. Not quite an Emergency Room.¹

At our 24/7 Advanced Care Centers, you can get help with more serious (but non-life-threatening) issues such as:

• deeper cuts
• broken bones
• severe abdominal pain
• dehydration

If your doctor decides you need additional treatment or observation, you’ll have the peace of mind knowing we can monitor your condition in our on-site “Clinical Decision Unit” for nearly a full day — or transfer you to a hospital if needed.
