RSV
What is RSV?
Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a common respiratory infection that affects the lungs and airways. It spreads through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes, and by touching contaminated surfaces. RSV can cause mild, cold-like symptoms in most healthy adults but may lead to more serious illness in infants, older adults, and individuals with weakened immune systems.
Symptoms often include congestion, runny nose, cough, sore throat, fatigue, and sometimes fever. In more severe cases, RSV can cause wheezing, difficulty breathing, or pneumonia, particularly in young children and older adults with underlying heart or lung disease.
Why it matters
RSV is one of the leading causes of respiratory illness in young children and can also pose serious risks for older adults or those with chronic conditions. Early detection and supportive care help prevent the illness from worsening and reduce the need for hospitalization.
While there is no cure for RSV, prompt evaluation and symptom management make recovery smoother and help protect others from infection. Preventive measures—such as handwashing, avoiding close contact with sick individuals, and staying home when symptomatic—remain key in limiting spread.

What is Urgent Care?
Urgent care bridges the gap between primary care and the emergency room. It’s designed for non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries that require immediate attention — faster than waiting for a regular appointment, and without the high costs of the ER.
At our clinic, urgent care means same-day access to medical providers, on-site testing, and fast treatment so you can get relief and return to your daily life.
Our urgent care services cover a wide range of common medical needs, including:
- Cold, flu, and COVID-19 testing and treatment
- Sore throats, strep, and sinus infections
- Cough, bronchitis, and RSV evaluation
- Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
- Ear infections and eye conditions (including pink eye)
- Minor cuts, burns, and skin infections
- Muscle strains, sprains, and minor injuries
- Headaches and migraines
- Nausea, vomiting, and stomach issues
- Same-day lab testing and medication refills for urgent needs
