Illness can strike at any time—a toddler with a fever, a grandparent with a lingering cough, or a parent battling a sore throat. Seasonal sickness doesn’t wait—and neither should you. Typical winter symptoms, such as congestion, sore throat, sinus pressure, ear pain, and fatigue, can derail even the best-laid holiday plans.

While most cases are mild, getting care shouldn’t mean sitting in a packed waiting room or rearranging your day. MemorialCare’s Get Care Now platform offers 24/7 virtual visits, allowing you to skip the crowds and receive help from the comfort of your own home—fast, safe, and stress-free. No membership is required, and every option is HIPAA-compliant for your privacy and peace of mind.

MemorialCare makes it easy to connect with trusted clinicians—physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants—anytime you need them. Here’s how:

24/7 QuickCare Visit

Submit your symptoms online and receive a personalized treatment plan by email—often in less than an hour. This option is ideal for common yet uncomfortable issues, such as sinus infections or urinary tract infections.

24/7 Virtual Urgent Care

When you need face-to-face reassurance, secure video visits connect you directly with a MemorialCare provider. Ideal for urgent situations such as a child’s late-night fever, sudden ear pain, or worsening cough. You’ll get answers fast without leaving home.

Call Us 24/7

Not sure where to start? Our call center is available 24/7 to guide you through your options, help schedule appointments, and assist with billing questions. One call gives you peace of mind and a clear next step.

24/7 Ask a Nurse

Sometimes you just need expert advice. Our nurse advice line provides professional guidance when you’re considering whether to treat symptoms at home or seek medical care. A registered nurse can assess your concerns and recommend the safest approach.

Online Chat 24/7

Multitasking or prefer typing? Use our chat feature anytime to check symptoms, find a provider, or book an appointment without needing to make a phone call. You can even connect with a live agent for extra support. We would like to mention that you can obtain prescriptions this way within an hour, and often sooner.

In-Person Urgent Care

For conditions that require hands-on attention—such as stitches, X-rays, or treatment for minor fractures—our urgent care centers are ready to help. You’ll receive prompt care for urgent but non-emergency needs in a comfortable setting.

When you need an in-person appointment with a primary care provider, I am available at MemorialCare Medical Group – Carson to assist patients of all ages. Our team offers comprehensive family medicine services and an on-site laboratory, enabling us to help keep your family healthy year-round.

With MemorialCare’s virtual and in-person options, care is always just a click or call away. Visit our virtual care page to learn more.
