Immediate Care Clinic
The DCMH Immediate Care Clinic is the top choice for care that is non-life threatening, but does require being seen today to ensure your medical conditions do not worsen. We see patients 4 months of age and older.
The Immediate Care Clinic offers:
- No appointment necessary
- Extended evening/weekend hours
- Shorter waits than hospital emergency rooms
While the Immediate Care Clinic can quickly care for you, it should not replace your primary care provider or hospital emergency room. If you are unsure where to go for care, call 812-662-6450 or view this resource.
We cover a wide range of services, including:

Wait Times - What to Expect
Due to the nature of service being provided, wait times at our Immediate Care Clinic can be unpredictable. The severity of other patients’ sickness or injury differs making some wait times longer than others and drive the medical staff to triage patients based on their medical needs.
When visiting the immediate care facility, your typical wait time is less than an hour. 57% of immediate care patients experience an estimated wait time of less than 15 minutes. To avoid issues with your wait time, consider:
- Bringing important documentation, including your photo ID and insurance information
- Self-scheduling ahead of time on your MyHealth Patient Portal, see the below How to Self-Schedule drop-down menu for more information
- Arriving late-morning or through mid-afternoons when the clinic tends to be slower

Emergency Room vs. Immediate Care Clinic
The hospital’s emergency room has more resources and specialists at its disposal to treat severe problems than in an immediate care center.
At DCMH Immediate Care Clinic, you may be seen by a nurse practitioner or physician assistant. Nurse practitioners and physician assistants who work in our immediate care clinic are experienced in an immediate care setting and, if needed, are able to consult with a board-certified physician working alongside them. Often, our qualified and emergency-trained team can see you when your regular primary medical provider cannot.
In instances like heart attack or stroke, every minute counts. If you are experiencing signs or systems of any of the life-threatening conditions below, call 911 or head to the nearest ER.
- Allergic reactions with swelling of the airways
- Chest pain (heart attack symptoms – chest pain, sweating, accompanying pain in your arm, neck or back)
- Coughing or vomiting blood
- Deep cuts or bleeding that will not stop
- Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
- Head or back injuries
- High fevers
- Loss of consciousness
- Major bone breaks
- Need for EKG, lab services and X-ray and imaging equipment such as ultrasound, CT or MRI scans
- Numbness in the face, arm, or leg
- Overdose concerns
- Poisoning concerns
- Seizures
- Severe abdominal pain
- Severe burns
- Severe dehydration
- Sudden blurred vision
- Sudden dizziness, weakness, or loss of coordination or balance
- Sudden, severe headache
Consider visiting the Emergency Room for any other condition not listed here that you believe may be life threatening.
