Getting care
We make it easy to get care, so you can focus on being healthy. And you have many options, including in-person care, telehealth care, and urgent and emergency care.
Convenient ways to get care
In-person appointments
Our state-of-the-art medical centers offer many services under one roof, so you can get care in fewer trips.
24/7 care
Get on-demand support with 24/7 care advice by phone or chat with a clinician 24/7.
E-visit questionnaires
Use our online symptom checker for certain conditions and get personalized care advice within a few hours.
Message your doctor’s office with nonurgent questions and usually get a response within 48 hours.
On kp.org, your online health care hub, you can schedule and manage appointments, fill prescriptions, send messages to your care team, and more. Your care is always accessible online.
Plus, with the Kaiser Permanente smartphone app, you’ll carry many of the services of kp.org right in your pocket.
Urgent care saves time, money, and stress
Kaiser Permanente Urgent Care centers offer extended hours or 24-hour care with most services in the same location. Plus, all our urgent care doctors have access to your health history, which means they can help resolve your issues quickly and efficiently. Learn more.
When is urgent care right for you?
Have a broken bone, an infection, belly pain, or another minor illness? Urgent care can help you with medical issues that require prompt attention, but aren’t emergencies.
Emergency care
If you think you are having a medical or psychiatric emergency, immediately call 911 or go to the nearest hospital.3 Do not attempt to access emergency care through this website.
Not sure which care is right for you?
If you need help choosing the care that’s right for you, contact us 24/7 at 800-777-7904 (TTY 711).
