What is Tropical Medicine?
Tropical medicine is a catch-all term for the study of diseases that largely originate in tropical areas. These can include malaria, hookworm, river blindness, parasites, and other communicable and non-communicable diseases. Climate plays a major role in these diseases because the hot, humid conditions allow bacteria to thrive. Additionally, they are commonly found in underdeveloped regions that lack adequate access to medicine, clean water, and sanitation.

What's the Difference Between Urgent Care and Emergency Room Services?
Urgent care is for medical conditions that require prompt attention but do not pose an immediate threat to your health or life. Here is a simple rule of thumb: if your medical issues(s) are life threatening, call 911, or go directly to a hospital emergency room. If not, an urgent care center such as AFC is an excellent alternative.
