Learn more about how to decide whether to take your child when an illness or injury happens.

Children's Wisconsin's Urgent Care does not provide preventive care services like physicals or vaccines. Your child's primary care doctor can provide these services.

Urgent Care does not provide ultrasounds, CT scans or MRI studies. If your child needs one of these, they will be transferred to our Emergency Department.  

The Emergency Department is for more serious illnesses and injuries. Below is a general guide to help you determine whether to seek urgent care or emergency care. You can also read our blog to learn more about how to decide whether to take your child to Urgent Care or to our Emergency Department.
