Immediate Care

For Urgent, but Non-Emergency, Medical Needs

In addition to appointments and same-day/walk-in care for acute (minor illness or injury), chronic (ongoing medical condition, such as diabetes, hypertension, or asthma), or preventive (regular checkups, vaccinations, and labs) medical needs that VNA provides at all of its locations, a select set of Immediate Care services are also available.

Immediate Care services at VNA address medical needs that are more urgent than same-day needs but do not necessarily require an Emergency Department visit.

Locations & Hours

Currently, Immediate Care services are available at the VNA Health Care – Aurora | Weston Avenue location: 323 Weston Avenue, Aurora, IL, 60505.

Immediate Care at VNA is open 7 days a week:

• Monday to Friday: 8:00am – 8:00pm
• Saturday and Sunday: 8:00am – 4:00pm
• Holidays: check the website for special holiday hours.

Services

Immediate Care services at VNA’s Weston Avenue location will offer two main acute care services not offered at other VNA locations:

• Suturing – stitches for minor cuts and scrapes, including wounds that may be deep but with bleeding under control.
• Radiology – X-rays of the bones and chest, for a possible broken bone and for certain chest-related symptoms (such as extended fever, extended cough, wheezing, or minor chest trauma).

Other Immediate Care services include soft casting (e.g., for a wrist or ankle injury), foreign body removal, and care for minor burns and corneal abrasions.

For all other acute needs, patients can be seen, with or without an appointment, at any VNA location.

A patient may be directed by VNA staff to Immediate Care at Weston Avenue or, if symptoms or injuries are severe, to the emergency room, based on their unique medical situation.

Patients experiencing a medical emergency should call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.

Getting Care

Patients with a suturing or radiology need can call 630-892-4355 for a same-day appointment time or walk in to VNA’s Weston Avenue location to be seen by Immediate Care staff.

If radiology or suturing needs are discovered during an exam at any other VNA clinic, VNA staff may refer the patient to Immediate Care at Weston Avenue.
