Non-emergency, outpatient care will be offered to ambulatory patients on a walk-in basis without an appointment. Doctors (including pediatricians) will treat:
• Broken bones
• Sprains and strains
• Cuts, scrapes, rashes
• Urinary tract infection
• Fever
• Vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration
• Sore throat, runny nose, cough
PCUC is expected to help alleviate long waits at Huntington Hospital’s emergency room, where more than 30 percent of patients have health concerns that are not emergencies.
Urgent care fills the gap between a primary care physician’s office and an emergency room, and provides significant savings to patients and insurers compared to hospital emergency departments. Urgent care can also help identify patients with chronic illnesses who do not have a primary care physician.
About the facility

The property, owned by the city of Pasadena and donated for the five-year pilot project, was chosen for its affordability, access to public transportation and proximity to a balanced mix of insured and uninsured users who would be likely to use the center.

The city  funded $4.1 million for the partial demolition and reconstruction of an existing building that formerly housed a daycare center and police substation. The construction included expanding the building’s footprint as well as new electrical, plumbing and HVAC systems. The city funding included $3.6 million from the charter capital reserve and $500,000 from equipment and lease funds. Funding for construction and equipment was also provided by Huntington Medical Foundation ($1.4 million).
