Walk-in Care

Urgent-6442-001092.jpgSometimes life's bumps, bangs, and illnesses can’t wait. 

Northern Light Walk-in Care offers you prompt medical care for minor illnesses or injury every day. With 8 locations across Maine, one of our centers is near you. 

If your primary care doctor is unavailable, you don’t have a physician or you are from out of town, just walk in to any Northern Light Walk-in Care Center. You’ll receive expert, compassionate, and immediate care for broken bones, sprains and strains, minor injuries, and illnesses. 

Walk-in care is not a traditional hospital emergency department. If you are experiencing chest pain, abdominal pain, or have multiple injuries, you should call 9-1-1 immediately.

Our highly skilled providers are ready to see you without the long wait times and expensive co-pays of an emergency room.

If you are unsure if your illness or injury is appropriate for walk-in care, you should first call your primary care physician. If needed, you can then call one of our care centers listed below.

Because we understand that the best care is given with the patient's complete history in mind, Northern Light Walk-in Care providers work with primary care physicians whenever possible. If you come to walk-in care, and you do not have a primary care physician, our staff can help you find one. And if you need follow up care in our area, our Northern Light Health system is available to help you.
