CareWell Urgent Care located on Centerville Road in Warwick is offering patients a convenient way to make urgent care appointments from the comfort of their homes or while on the go via their mobile device. This service is available at all eight CareWell locations.

“Online appointment booking allows patients to go online, select their location and make an appointment, minimizing the time they might otherwise spend in the waiting area.

“This service is especially helpful to people with children or those who might be coming from work,” said Dr. Jack Coldwell, CareWell’s director of medicine. “We’re hopeful that it will allow patients to get in and out as quickly as possible, so they can get back to their busy lives.”

Patients are urged to visit CareWellUrgentCare.com/Our-Locations, and select either a regular urgent care or an occupational medicine appointment. They can view the next available time to be treated at any of the eight locations and sign up to select the time that is best for them. They will then receive an e-mail confirming the appointment time.

CareWell centers treat patients for any non-life-threatening – but still urgent – illnesses or injuries, including colds, infections, fractures, cuts, rashes, allergic reactions and the flu. Centers offer select preventative care services, including flu shots, vaccinations and sports physical exams, and have on-site X-ray and blood work capabilities.
