Sutter Walk-In Care: Convenient, Everyday Health

Jul 10, 2018 | Access, Innovation, News

Bumps, bruises and illnesses often occur without warning. For the same out-of-pocket cost as a primary care visit, Sutter Walk-In Care clinics provide convenient care for everyday health needs—no appointment necessary.

With 12 locations throughout the greater Sacramento, Central Valley and Bay Area communities, Walk-In Care clinics are open daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., and most holidays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sutter Health Plus members can go online to schedule an appointment—or just walk in—for the same out-of-pocket cost as a primary care visit. The clinics offer a relaxing environment with comfortable seating, complimentary coffee and tea, in addition to free Wi-Fi and outlets to plug in your phone or laptop.

“Our members have access to all Sutter Walk-In Care clinics, regardless of their medical group or location,” shared Rob Carnaroli, Sutter Health Plus Vice President of Sales. “It’s a new front door to receiving quality care from our network of providers.”

Sutter Walk-In Care clinicians diagnose, treat and prescribe drugs for common illnesses like seasonal allergies, ear infections, or mild fevers and colds. Other services include wellness screenings and immunizations, such as the flu shot. Current Walk-In Care locations include:
