SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Syracuse Community Health Center (SCHC) on Tuesday announced the opening of an urgent-care center at its 819 S. Salina St. location in Syracuse.
The urgent-care designation and restructuring of its physical space and medical teams will give patients “greater convenience with the first and only” urgent-care location in downtown Syracuse, SCHC says.

The urgent care is open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday and appointments aren’t necessary. The urgent care will add weekend hours “in the near future,” SCHC said.
Non-patients and current SCHC patients will have access to board-certified medical and dental providers and a full spectrum of patient services. The Moderna booster shots are also available now without an appointment at the urgent-care center.
“Patients don’t often have a primary-care provider or want greater convenience and urgent care is helping people get the care they need, when they want it,” Mark Hall, president and CEO of the Syracuse Community Health Center, said. “While we had walk-in hours in the past, patients often didn’t realize that we were open to everyone, not just our existing patients.”
Services provided at the urgent care include treatment for rashes and infections; sprains, aches, pains; ear, nose and throat problems; dental problems including pain and chipped teeth; minor eye problems; cold or flu symptoms; and lacerations, splinters, cuts and bruises, per the news release.
