WellFast Urgent Care continues to follow COVID-19 guidelines from the CDC and local government. Our priority is to help contain the spread of the virus and to minimize the risk of exposure in patients and staff while providing exceptional healthcare to our community. Patients are triaged to be seen via video visit or in-person based on their symptoms and at the discretion of the physician. If seen in clinic, only the patient is allowed entrance (unless patient is a minor accompanied by an adult or requires assistance). Our doors are open and we welcome walk-in patients.

A word from our Medical Director,
This is an unprecedented situation affecting the whole world. It is imperative that people remain calm and follow instructions provided by the experts. Dr. Delarosa, WellFast’s Medical Director, urges patients with mild symptoms to stay home, treat fever, remain hydrated and be vigilant about developing complications.
The CDC states: “If you develop emergency warning signs for COVID-19 go to the nearest Emergency Department immediately.”
Emergency warning signs include:
- Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
- Persistent pain or pressure in the chest
- New confusion or inability to arouse
- Bluish lips or face
Most patients with COVID-19 will have a mild to moderate illness and should be able to recover fully at home without complications. Staying home avoids the further spreading of this highly contagious virus. COVID-19 will affect everybody. Let’s all do our part to help contain the spread of this disease and hope that it will be over soon.
