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.
The University of Vermont Medical Center Urgent Care at the Fanny Allen Campus in Colchester, VT, is a short drive from Burlington, South Burlington, Winooski, and Essex. We are located across the street from St. Michael's College.

Patients who think they need CT, ultrasound or extensive bloodwork outside of the hours listed below should go to the Emergency Department. Patients with SANE (Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner) needs should also go directly to the Emergency Department.
The following services are available through Urgent Care with evaluation by our providers:
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, meaning that lab result times can be over an hour.

Radiology and X-Ray services are available seven days per week, from 8 a.m. – 8 p.m. (These services are closed for holidays).
Radiology (CT/Ultrasound)
CT and Ultrasound services are typically available weekdays 8 a.m. – 4 p.m. and are not available on weekends or holidays.
