Regional FirstCare Urgent Care

Regional FirstCare's four urgent care clinic locations offer comprehensive walk-in services for a variety of non-emergency illnesses and injuries. The FirstCare facilities - located in north Athens, Watkinsville, Jefferson and Barrow County - provide supplemental care for those times when your physician's office is closed or unable to provide an appointment.

Appointments Never Needed

Patients do not need an appointment at any of the Regional FirstCare facilities. Patients are seen as quickly as possible on a walk-in basis.
