Open 8 am to 8 pm seven days a week and accepting walk-in patients.

Where it actually is
Worth knowing before you set off: this clinic sits on North Avenue at the far northern edge of Oak Park, on the boundary with Chicago’s Austin neighbourhood. If you live in south Oak Park, near Roosevelt Road or the Eisenhower, it is a longer drive than the address suggests — and the Cicero clinics may well be closer. Check the map before assuming the in-town option is the nearest one.
Urgent care or the emergency room in Oak Park
Most towns around here have no hospital, so the choice is straightforward: urgent care, or a drive. Oak Park is different. Rush Oak Park Hospital runs a 24-hour emergency department on South Maple Avenue, which means residents have a genuine choice at any hour — and it is worth choosing deliberately.
An emergency department is the right destination for anything potentially life-threatening, and the only option once the walk-in clinic closes at 8 pm. But for a sore throat, a urinary tract infection, a sprain or a rash, urgent care is typically far cheaper and considerably faster, because emergency departments triage by severity — a minor complaint waits behind every serious one that arrives. Our guide to urgent care versus the emergency room sets out the cost difference, and urgent care costs and insurance covers what a visit actually runs to.
Other clinics within reach
Because the Oak Park clinic closes at 8 pm and several of its details are unconfirmed, it is worth knowing the alternatives. Melrose Park is a short drive north and has two walk-in clinics, including the highest-rated in this area. The Cicero clinics are south, and one stays open until midnight.
