Does urgent care in Aurora accept Health First Colorado?

Yes. Health First Colorado — Colorado's Medicaid program — is accepted at most Aurora urgent care clinics, including UCHealth, HealthONE-affiliated locations, AFC Urgent Care, and NextCare. Colorado expanded Medicaid in 2014, covering adults to 138% of the federal poverty level.

What is the Anschutz Medical Campus?

The University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus is the largest academic health center in the Rocky Mountain region, located in Aurora. It houses CU Anschutz, UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital, and Children's Hospital Colorado, with over 2.9 million patient visits annually.

Are multilingual urgent care providers available in Aurora?

Yes. Aurora is Colorado's most diverse city — roughly 1 in 5 residents is foreign-born — and many urgent care clinics employ multilingual staff or use phone-based medical interpreters. Spanish is the most common second language, with Amharic, Nepali, Burmese, Swahili, Karen, and Pulaar also widely served.

When should I go to the ER instead of urgent care in Aurora?

Go to the ER (or call 911) for chest pain, stroke symptoms, severe trauma, difficulty breathing, severe bleeding, head injury with loss of consciousness, severe abdominal pain, or any life-threatening symptom. Urgent care handles non-emergency illness and minor injury.

Can urgent care in Aurora help with altitude sickness?

Yes. Aurora urgent cares routinely see altitude-adjustment cases — headaches, nausea, fatigue, shortness of breath in new arrivals to the 5,471-foot elevation. Most cases resolve with hydration and rest, but providers can prescribe oxygen or medication if needed. Severe altitude illness should go to the ER.

Are urgent care clinics in Aurora open evenings and weekends?

Yes. Most Aurora urgent care clinics are open Saturdays and Sundays, with weekday hours typically 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. None offer 24-hour walk-in service — for overnight care, UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital and The Medical Center of Aurora ERs are the right destinations.

Do Aurora urgent care clinics treat refugees and new arrivals?

Yes. Aurora urgent cares regularly see newly arrived refugees and immigrants. The Colorado Refugee Health Program enrolls eligible refugees in Health First Colorado within 90 days of arrival. UCHealth, the Medical Center of Aurora, and several FQHCs also serve uninsured patients on sliding-scale rates.
