The holiday season brings joy, but it can also bring accidents and illnesses. From minor burns while baking cookies and decorating mishaps to other common holiday injuries and the inevitable cold and flu, Lakeland Regional Health’s urgent care centers are ready to help.

With four convenient locations (and a fifth clinic opening Dec. 3), and expert providers, LRH makes it easy to get care when it’s needed most.

🏥 Why choose Urgent Care?

“Urgent care is a convenient place to be seen for minor illnesses and injuries. We’re here to offer quick relief — no appointment needed,” David Remmer, MD, said.

It’s designed for non-emergency concerns, such as:

Cold and flu symptoms
Sprains, strains, and minor injuries
Sinus infections and seasonal allergies
Minor burns and cuts
Diagnostic testing for respiratory illnesses

📍 More locations coming soon

On Dec. 3, Lakeland Regional Health will open a new Urgent Care center, Highland City (5101 US Hwy 98 S), expanding Swan City’s access to fast, reliable care across the region — and even more urgent care locations are coming soon.

The Highland City location also will offer Primary Care with Dr. Jacob Glotfelty, a Family Care physician.

Pro tip: Dr. Glotfelty is now accepting new patients; please call (863) 284-5000 to schedule an appointment.
