When to use Convenient Care

Why it's important to still see your regular physician

Here are some appropriate reasons to use Convenient Care
- Fever
- Sore throat (strep testing available)
- Earaches
- Coughs and congestion
- Minor injuries (abrasions/scrapes)
- Vomiting
- Rashes (poison ivy, etc.)

- Minor cuts - that may need a few stitches
- Basic laboratory testing - pregnancy, glucose (blood sugar), and urinalysis
If you have questions, you may contact the Convenient Care Center at 812-273-5372 during regular business hours (1 p.m. to 9 p.m.). Our goal is to provide you will excellent and efficient care on short notice or when your doctor's office is closed.
What is Convenient Care?

Why does it cost less?
Because Convenient Care does not require the same level of staff and equipment as the ER, efficient care can be delivered for less.
Will I see a doctor?
Yes. The Convenient Care Center is staffed by a qualified physician.
