NOW OFFERING FLU SHOTS FOR THE 2024-2025 SEASON!

 

Gray urgently needed it. Now it’s got it.
Introducing Gray Urgent Care.

Access to urgent healthcare in Gray and its surrounding communities just got a lot easier. The residents of Gray and its surrounding communities now have a local option for acute non-emergent health care evaluations, diagnosis and treatment.

Convenient, cost-effective and timely

Located next door to the Post Office just off of the Gray Road, patients can get walk-in care with no appointment necessary, Monday through Friday, 8am to 6pm  and Saturday's 8am-4pm

Most patient visits take less than an hour from check-in to check-out. And most visits and services are covered by insurance. All while staying right here in Gray and saving the time of traveling to Lewiston or Portland. Plus, Gray Urgent Care costs much less than a visit to the emergency room.

The important thing is knowing when to choose urgent care versus the ER. See below.

Urgent Care vs. The Emergency Room. A quick guide to choosing.

There is some overlap in the things urgent care facilities and emergency rooms can treat. Gray Urgent Care provides services you would typically expect at a doctor’s office, with the addition and convenience of x-ray machines and some lab testing. But if the situation is life-threatening or involves trauma, a trip to the emergency room—after a call to 911—is warranted. Accordingly, it will be more expensive, but it could be the difference between life and death.

Here are the basics you need to know to decide which is right for the situation at hand.
