Cartersville Medical Center recognizes the need in our community for urgent care services for injuries and illness that aren't life threatening, but need attention, sometimes after hours. With this in mind, the new urgent care center will have the latest medical equipment, labs and imaging services and is designed for patient comfort.

Services provided include treatment of illness and injury, imaging and lab testing, physicals, vaccines and preventative care. You can also expect to have online scheduling, web check-in, patient portal and online bill pay at your fingertips for convenience.
