Why should I visit AFC Urgent Care and Walk-in Clinic?
AFC Urgent Care provides fast relief and efficient care when accidents and illnesses occur. We understand it’s never a good time to get sick, and you don’t want to sit in a waiting room for hours of your day. It’s not always convenient to visit the emergency room or fit in an appointment with your primary care doctor. No one likes sitting at the ER for hours or paying the expensive bill afterwards. The average ER visit is $1,300 while a basic urgent care visit is typically $100. Urgent care is a great alternative to emergency rooms now that urgent cares can treat roughly 70% of ER visits. When you visit AFC Urgent Care, we respect your time with short wait times and thorough visits. Our team is well equipped with top-tier medical professionals, with a doctor always on-site. We treat common illnesses such as strep throat, flu, common cold, allergic reactions, and more.
Stay healthy while you’re shopping in Hickory.
While you’re out shopping in the furniture capital of the world, be cautious of spreading and catching germs. Surfaces in high-traffic areas are some of the largest sources of spreading contagious illnesses. Most surfaces in public areas are highly contaminated with bacteria and virus droplets. This is why it’s important to practice cough and sneeze etiquette. If you are sick, be sure to sneeze or cough into your elbow to prevent germs settling on commonly touched surfaces, especially in condensed areas. Wash your hands, and use hand sanitizer frequently to prevent the spread of germs. As a growing suburb in North Carolina, Hickory is home to over 40,000 residents. It is crucial to keep the community healthy to continue flourishing into one of the state’s best neighborhoods.
