Urgent Care
Urgent Care at the UVM Medical Center
The University of Vermont Medical Center Urgent Care, located at the Fanny Allen Campus in Colchester, offers the unparalleled care and personalized attention you'll find at a university hospital without the need for an appointment.
Unlike standalone urgent care centers and walk-in clinics, you don't have to travel if you require a more comprehensive evaluation, diagnostic tests, or need a specialist after you're seen by one of our doctors. Our urgent care center has 13 exam rooms and diagnostic imaging, intravenous (IV) capabilities, and an outpatient retail pharmacy.
Dial 911 for Symptoms That Seem Life-Threatening
If you're experiencing chest pain, symptoms of stroke, severe abdominal pain, or other serious symptoms that seem life-threatening, call 911 or go to the emergency room immediately.

Patients with chest pain, stroke symptoms, severe abdominal pain or SANE (Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner) needs should go to the Emergency Department.
Patients who may need a CT-scan, ultrasound, or extensive blood work should contact their provider’s office or, if an urgent need, go to the Emergency Department.
Laboratory
There is no lab service on site, with the exception of point of care testing (urine dipstick, rapid strep and urine pregnancy testing). All other labs are sent to the UVM Medical Center Main Campus for processing and may require over an hour for lab results.
X-Ray
X-ray services are available seven days per week from 8 am – 8 pm. They are not available on holidays.
Advanced imaging services, such as ultrasound or CT scan, are no longer available at Urgent Care. Patients who require advanced imaging should speak with their provider’s office for assistance with scheduling these services.
