Same Day Care in La Crosse

Call if you, a family member or other loved one needs care and wants to be seen that same day.

When calling, you'll speak with a nurse and scheduler who will work with you to be seen in one of these departments:

• Family Health Clinic
• Family Medicine
• Internal Medicine

If you have primary care provider, we'll make every effort to schedule you with them. If they do not have availability, you likely will be seen by another provider in the same department. If you don't have a primary care provider, you'll be scheduled with an available provider based on your situation.

Same-day care is available weekdays from 8 a.m.–5 p.m. Emergency care will continue to be provided in the Emergency Department 24/7/365.
