When your medical needs are urgent but not life-threatening, such as a
sprained ankle or minor cut, an Urgent Care center can provide a
closer, faster, and less expensive alternative to the emergency room (ER).
Visiting the ER for minor injuries or illnesses could end up costing you
more than if your care was provided at an Urgent Care clinic or doctor's
office. Shannon offers four Urgent Care Clinics, giving you access to
convenient medical care close to home. For urgent care in San Angelo,

For child-specific medical needs, Shannon also offers a
Pediatric Urgent Care Center at 225 E. Beauregard Ave. (inside the
Shannon Pediatric Clinic). This center can be reached at
325.747.2287to schedule urgent care appointments.
Remember, if you or your child is experiencing a life-threatening situation,
you should call 911 or go to a hospital emergency department right away.
Call ahead and online check-in service ends 2 hours prior to closing time
so that we can accommodate all patients in a timely manner.

It is important to note that
