The ExpressCare Clinic at NYC Health + Hospitals/Lincoln is among the latest changes in the public health system’s vision to transform care for New Yorkers.
The clinic offers walk-in services for non-emergent conditions—like colds, flu, sprains, skin rashes, minor cuts and lacerations, and certain types of infections. Shifting patients with non-life-threatening conditions into the ExpressCare clinic will shorten their wait times. The clinic will also differ from stand-alone urgent care centers by offering a better connection to primary care providers. The emergency-trained physicians at the ExpressCare clinic will help ensure patients receive the appropriate follow-up care by connecting them with primary care doctors in the Health + Hospitals system.
