Urgent medical care for non-emergency patients

Convenience Care

We all have busy schedules. Likewise, clinic hours don’t always match the timing of minor illnesses or injuries. At LifeCare Medical Center we understand this. That’s why we¹re pleased to offer Convenience Care — urgent after-hours medical attention to you and your family for non-lifethreatening medical conditions. Convenience Care is provided by the LifeCare Emergency Department. All physicians, mid-level practitioners, nurses, pharmacists, lab and x-ray professionals work in cooperation to make sure that you receive the appropriate care.

Through our new Convenience Care service, the same excellent personal care and attention you receive during regular business hours is now available on evenings and weekends.

This new service provides a cost effective alternative to Emergency Care for non-emergency injuries and illnesses, some of which include:

• persistent coughs
• small cuts or lacerations
• possible sprains
• pulled muscles
• ear aches
• nausea or diarrhea
• fever
• sore throats
• backaches
• mild infections
• cold and flu symptoms

This service is not intended to replace visits with your regular healthcare provider. To see your regular provider, please contact the Altru Clinic in Roseau, Warroad, or Greenbush.
