Charter Clinic Immediate Care offers convenient and reliable COVID-19 testing services right here in the clinic. Both rapid antigen tests and send-off PCR tests are available for symptomatic and asymptomatic patients. COVID-19 testing is a vital tool for making informed decisions about travel, school, and returning to work or social activities.

Vitamin B-12 injections are a common and effective way to treat or prevent B-12 deficiency. B-12 shots help boost energy levels, support healthy nerve function, and assist in the production of red blood cells. B-12 injections are often recommended for people who have difficulty absorbing Vitamin B-12 through diet or oral supplements due to conditions like anemia or some digestive disorders.

If you suspect an eye infection such as pink eye (conjunctivitis) or a stye, Charter Clinic can provide a thorough examination to determine a diagnosis and create a treatment plan. Treatment plans for eye injections can include antibiotic eye drops or ointment as well as guidance on managing symptoms. We can help alleviate uncomfortable symptoms of eye infections like redness, itching, and discharge until you’ve fully recovered.

Ear infections affect not only children, but also adults. If you or your child is experiencing ear pain, congestion, or fluid drainage, Charter Clinic is equipped to diagnose and treat common ear infections.

Charter Clinic offers convenient PPD (purified protein derivative) testing, also known as the tuberculosis skin test, to screen for exposure to tuberculosis (TB). PPD testing involves a small injection just under the skin of your forearm, which is checked for results when the patient returns to the clinic after 48-72 hours. X-rays can also help determine a diagnosis for tuberculosis. PPD/TB screening is often required for employment, school, or travel.

We offer in-house EKG testing to quickly evaluate your heart’s electrical activity if you are experiencing symptoms like chest pain, heart palpitations, or shortness of breath.

EKG results are available immediately, allowing for rapid assessment and determination of whether you require further specialized cardiac care.

We provide routine blood pressure tests to screen for both high blood pressure (hypertension) and low blood pressure (hypotension). Testing is simple and painless and can assist in the evaluation of many common symptoms like headaches, dizziness, or chest discomfort. If your blood pressure reading is dangerously high or low, Charter Clinic can provide immediate care, prescribe or adjust medication, and create a plan for ongoing management.

Charter Clinic offers convenient flu shot vaccinations right here in the clinic. Annual flu vaccines are the most effective way to prevent serious illness and complications from the influenza virus.

Charter Clinic offers confidential and convenient testing for common sexually transmitted diseases (STDs/STIs) in a discrete and non-judgemental environment.

If STD/STI testing results are positive, our providers can provide treatment, discuss next steps, and offer counseling on how to prevent future transmission.

Contact with poison ivy can cause widespread, painful, and blistering rashes that require prompt and effective treatment. Treatment for poison ivy generally involves prescription strength steroid creams or oral steroids to quickly reduce inflammation and itching and prevent more severe reactions. Quick treatment will manage your symptoms and help avoid secondary infections from poison ivy.

If you suspect a minor break or fracture due to a fall or injury, Charter Clinic can provide immediate evaluation that includes on-site digital x-rays.

In the event of a sudden asthma flare-up, wheezing, or shortness of breath, Charter Clinic can provide immediate assessment and treatment to stabilize your breathing.

If you have new, acute back pain from an injury, muscle strain, or unknown cause, Charter Clinic can provide diagnosis and initial treatment. We can assess the severity of your back pain, complete x-rays, and prescribe medication for pain relief and muscle relaxation. We can stabilize your symptoms and offer guidance on whether or not your back pain needs further care from a specialist.

For cuts and lacerations that require more than a bandage, Charter Clinic provides wound evaluation and closure using stitches. Our providers will thoroughly clean and examine the wound before placing your stitches to minimize the risk of infection and promote the best possible healing. We provide complete instructions on caring for your stitches and let you know when and where they need to be removed.

Our on-site lab is equipped to perform quick and essential diagnostic tests, such as urinalysis and testing for strep throat or the flu.

If you’ve been injured on the job and need to pursue evaluation and treatment through your employer’s work comp insurance, Charter Clinic can help.
