Urgent Care After Hours

If you need urgent care for a non life-threatening issue at a time when the Wellness Center is closed, consider utilizing one of the phone or clinic resources below. This is not a comprehensive list. These clinics are not affiliated with Loyola University Chicago, nor do we recommend any particular clinic. In order to be seen at these clinics, you must have your medical insurance card with you.
