Immediate
Care

5 Convenient Locations.

Our Immediate Care Centers provide convenient medical care for patients of all ages who need to see a doctor right away but do not have a life-threatening condition that warrants an emergency room visit.

Our Immediate Care Centers are fully prepared and ready to safely welcome you back, following guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and public health authorities, using the best practices for hygiene, infection control and social distancing. Don’t wait to be well.

Call 911 if you think you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency.

COVID-19 vaccination is available

NCH offers COVID-19 vaccination at any of our five ICC locations. Walk-ins are accepted at Buffalo Grove, Kildeer, Harper College and Schaumburg. Mount Prospect requires an appointment. Please schedule your vaccination appointment here, and you will be able to choose the ICC location most convenient for you.

COVID-19 testing is available

If you’ve traveled recently, been with a large group of people indoors, or just want the peace of mind that comes with knowing you’re well, you can now receive a COVID-19 test at any NCH Immediate Care location. Results will be available within 24 hours, and no appointment is necessary.

See below for locations and hours. COVID-19 testing ends 30 minutes prior to the end of the day. Testing is not done on holidays.
