Summer is in full swing, and while the season brings sunshine, vacations, and family fun, it also brings a few health risks you should be prepared for. At CheckPoint Urgent Care, we’re here to help you enjoy a safe and healthy summer—and we’re open every day, including holidays, to handle unexpected issues that can’t wait.
1. Watch Out for Heat-Related Illnesses
Spending time outside in the summer heat can lead to heat exhaustion or even heat stroke. If you or a loved one experiences dizziness, nausea, excessive sweating, or confusion, it’s time to cool down and hydrate. If symptoms don’t improve quickly, visit your nearest CheckPoint location. We can assess your condition and get you feeling better fast.
2. Firework and BBQ Safety
Celebrations like the 4th of July are fun—but they also bring a spike in minor burns and injuries. Be extra cautious when handling fireworks, grills, and hot equipment. If you do get a burn or small cut that needs more than a Band-Aid, skip the ER. Our providers treat minor injuries quickly and with care.
3. Stay Active, But Be Smart
Summer is a great time for sports, hiking, and outdoor adventures—but sprains, strains, and minor fractures happen. We offer on-site X-rays and same-day treatment, so you don’t have to make multiple stops for care.
4. Beat the Summer Bugs
Nausea, sore throat, and fevers can hit even when the weather’s warm. Our clinics are equipped to test and treat common illnesses like strep, flu, and stomach bugs—no appointment needed. Just walk in and get checked out.
5. We’re Open When You Need Us
Whether it’s a Sunday evening or a holiday morning, CheckPoint Urgent Care is here for you. We’re a convenient and cost-effective alternative to the ER for non-emergency issues. Plus, we accept most insurance plans and offer affordable self-pay options.
Enjoy your summer—and keep CheckPoint Urgent Care in mind when the unexpected happens. We’re just around the corner, ready to help.
