Accurate Diagnostics: Innovative Testing for Comprehensive Care

Services available at Co-Hill Urgent Care & Wellness Center

At Co-Hill Urgent Care, diagnostic services are a cornerstone of the high-quality, efficient care provided to patients. These services allow healthcare professionals to accurately identify and treat a wide range of medical conditions, from infections and injuries to chronic illnesses. By offering in-house diagnostic testing, Co-Hill Urgent Care can quickly determine the underlying causes of a patient’s symptoms, enabling fast and effective treatment. This level of care is especially important for individuals who need timely results but do not require the extensive resources of an emergency room.

In-House Diagnostic Services Offered at Co-Hill Urgent Care

1. Laboratory Testing

Co-Hill Urgent Care is equipped with an on-site laboratory to perform a variety of tests to help diagnose conditions quickly. Common lab tests include:

Complete Blood Count (CBC): This test is used to evaluate overall health and detect conditions such as anemia, infections, and many other disorders by measuring the levels of red and white blood cells and platelets.
Blood Glucose Testing: This test helps to monitor blood sugar levels and can aid in diagnosing diabetes or managing existing diabetes.
Urinalysis: A simple test used to detect urinary tract infections (UTIs), kidney disease, or diabetes by analyzing a patient’s urine sample.
Strep and Flu Tests: Co-Hill offers rapid testing for conditions like strep throat and influenza, enabling patients to receive appropriate treatment quickly and avoid complications.
Pregnancy Tests: These are provided for women who need to confirm pregnancy quickly and confidentially.

Laboratory tests are vital for diagnosing a wide variety of medical conditions and providing treatment plans based on accurate data.

2. X-Ray Services

Co-Hill Urgent Care is equipped with digital X-ray technology, which allows for the rapid and accurate assessment of bone fractures, joint dislocations, infections, and other internal conditions. X-rays are commonly used to evaluate injuries like broken bones, sprains, and strains. By providing immediate access to diagnostic imaging, patients can receive timely results and avoid the need for a referral to another facility. The medical team at Co-Hill uses these images to determine the appropriate course of treatment, whether it involves splinting, casting, or other medical interventions.

3. Rapid Diagnostic Tests

Co-Hill Urgent Care understands the importance of obtaining quick results for certain conditions. For this reason, they offer a variety of rapid diagnostic tests, which provide results within minutes. Examples of these tests include:

COVID-19 Testing: Co-Hill provides both PCR and rapid antigen tests for COVID-19, allowing for quick detection of the virus. These tests are crucial for diagnosing individuals with symptoms and identifying potential exposures.
Rapid Strep Test: If a patient presents with a sore throat and symptoms consistent with strep throat, a rapid test can confirm the presence of Group A Streptococcus bacteria in as little as 10-15 minutes.
Rapid Influenza Test: When flu-like symptoms are present, a rapid flu test can determine whether the illness is caused by influenza, allowing for prompt treatment.
Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) Testing: Urinalysis and urine culture tests can identify bacterial infections in the urinary tract, guiding treatment with antibiotics.

4. Electrocardiogram (EKG)

An EKG (or ECG) is a non-invasive test used to measure the electrical activity of the heart. Co-Hill Urgent Care offers EKGs to help diagnose various cardiac issues, such as arrhythmias, heart attacks, and other heart-related conditions. This test is often performed for patients who present with symptoms like chest pain, palpitations, dizziness, or shortness of breath. EKG results are available quickly, enabling the healthcare team to assess the need for further care or treatment.

5. On-Site Pregnancy Testing and Ultrasound Referrals

Co-Hill Urgent Care offers on-site pregnancy tests for women seeking to confirm pregnancy. In addition, for more detailed evaluation, the center can refer patients to specialized facilities for ultrasounds or other imaging services. This makes it easier for patients to receive the care they need with minimal delay.

6. Pulmonary Function Testing (PFT)

For patients experiencing respiratory issues, Co-Hill Urgent Care provides pulmonary function tests to assess lung capacity and function. This is particularly useful for diagnosing and monitoring conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or other lung disorders. By evaluating lung function, healthcare providers can determine the best course of action for treatment or medication.
