What should I expect when I come to a CommonSpirit Health Emergency & Urgent Care Center?

After the physician evaluates you, you’ll be told if the recommended course of treatment and/or testing involves emergency or urgent care level of service. Generally, patients with minor conditions which could typically be treated in a physician’s office, receive urgent care services. Patients who require a higher level of care receive emergency services.

Are CommonSpirit Health Emergency & Urgent Care Centers licensed emergency rooms?

Yes. Our emergency and urgent care centers are licensed as non-provider based freestanding emergency centers and meet Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment licensure requirements. They are staffed by CommonSpirit Health-affiliated board-certified emergency physicians, emergency-trained nurses, radiologic technologists and other clinical specialists. Unlike other freestanding emergency rooms, we bill urgent care at urgent care prices (7 a.m. – 9 p.m. daily).

What type of care do CommonSpirit Health Emergency & Urgent Care Centers provide?

Our Emergency & Urgent Care centers are able to treat all urgent and emergency medical conditions including, but not limited to chest pain, respiratory issues, head, sports and orthopedic injuries, abdominal pain, dehydration, and lacerations. Also colds, flu, sprains, strains and bloody noses. Patients are seen in private exam rooms and every center has digital x-ray, ultrasound, CT scan, EKG and lab on site. The Meridian location also has an MRI available.
