This is an urgent care centre, not an emergency department.
It treats urgent problems that are not life-threatening, and the wait is usually shorter for that reason rather than because it is faster at the same work. In a life-threatening emergency, call 911.

If you need a prescription filled after your visit, the Concordia Community Pharmacy is conveniently located on the ground floor across from the Community Clinic.
