Why You Should Get a Wellness Visit at Urgent Care
When most people think of urgent care, they picture quick visits for minor illnesses, injuries, or last-minute prescriptions. But urgent care clinics like Healthcare Express also offer wellness visits—a valuable and often overlooked service that helps you stay on top of your health.
If you're due for a check-up or just not feeling like yourself, a wellness visit at urgent care can be one of the easiest and most affordable ways to take charge of your health without waiting weeks for a primary care appointment.
What Is a Wellness Visit?
A wellness visit is a preventive check-up that focuses on keeping you healthy rather than treating illness. It's your opportunity to:
- Review your personal and family medical history
- Check vital signs like blood pressure and heart rate
- Discuss your energy levels, sleep, weight, and stress
- Get recommended screenings or lab work
- Set personal health goals
Unlike sick visits, wellness visits are designed to catch small issues before they become bigger problems.
Bonus: Most insurance plans cover one wellness visit per year at 100%—with no out-of-pocket cost to you.
Why Get a Wellness Visit at Urgent Care?
At Healthcare Express Urgent Care, we believe convenience shouldn’t come at the cost of quality. That’s why we offer comprehensive wellness visits at all of our urgent care locations—no appointment required.
Here’s why more patients are choosing urgent care for their wellness visits:
-
No Wait, No Hassle
Primary care offices often have long wait times for check-ups. At urgent care, you can walk in or book online for same-day service—even on evenings and weekends.
-
On-Site Labs and Testing
From cholesterol to hormone levels, we can run many lab tests in-house, so you get faster answers and next steps—without visiting multiple clinics.
-
Personalized, Preventive Care
Our providers take the time to listen. If you’re feeling “off,” dealing with low energy, brain fog, or weight changes, we help you dig deeper—not just treat symptoms.
-
Ideal for Busy Adults and Families
What’s Included in a Wellness Visit?
Every wellness visit is tailored to your age, health history, and concerns—but common services include:
- Blood pressure and heart rate check
- Weight and BMI evaluation
- Cholesterol, glucose, or thyroid lab testing
- Hormone level testing (if requested)
- Vitamin deficiency screening (like B-12, D, or iron)
- Mental health and stress check-in
- Lifestyle guidance on diet, exercise, and sleep
If you're overdue for your annual wellness visit or you’ve never had one, this is your sign. You don’t need to wait for something to be wrong to take care of your health.
