NYC And The Walk In Clinic - Saviors to The Sick

NYC And The Walk In Clinic - Saviors to The Sick

This may be counter-intuitive. As a matter of fact, it flies in the face of the seemingly obvious, but in NYC it is possible to leave a hospital sicker than when you went in! That's right, according to an article in the New York Post dated March 28, 2011 patients who enter a NYC hospital are more likely to contract an illness than in hospitals in 36 other states. Pretty grim statistics. And it's why more people in our area are choosing a Walk In Clinic to have their health needs met.

According to the medical watchdog group HealthGrades New York City ranked 37th out of 68 regions studied and came in 38th among the states where patients acquire bloodstream infections while in their care.

"Hey doc, I have the flu."

"Thanks for visiting us. Now you have a bloodstream infection."

Sheer madness.

Due to this alarming news, it now seems obvious that unless you are suffering from a life-threatening illness, visiting a hospital or a hospital emergency room is not the ideal option. Walk in clinics have popped up in almost all communities in America to deliver what it is most people need: Professional, safe and affordable healthcare without the hassle of ridiculously long wait times. The following is a list of walk in clinic pros.

Wait TimeLong lines and hours killing time are a thing of the past with the rise of the walk in clinic. Believe it or not, most people are seen within one hour of arriving.

Personalized AttentionTired of feeling like a faceless number when arriving for your doctor's appointment or emergency room visit? At a walk in clinic you are carefully examined by a board-certified doctor with the time and care it requires to reach a professional diagnosis.

Affordable RatesUnlike some facilities and emergency rooms, a walk in clinic's pricing checklist is not based on a big business model that does not take individual financial needs into consideration. Pricing is kept down intentionally, making it affordable to most anyone.

Variety of CoverageIn a reflection of their commitment to help as many people as possible, walk in clinics will usually accept a host of medical insurance. If you have insurance, chances are you will be covered.

Same Day AppointmentsAlthough this is possible with an emergency room, it is almost as if you are penalized for getting sick and needing help immediately. At a walk in clinic it is the opposite. When you are sick and need a doctor, one will see you quicklyas it should be.

The fast and hectic pace of NYC can really do a number on stress levels. Many walk in clinics offer wellness & prevention programs aimed at leveling those stress levels, thus keeping you centered and healthy.
