When you experience a non-life-threatening injury or illness, it’s comforting to know that there are two conveniently located Outer Banks Health Hospital Urgent Care Centers (Nags Head & Kitty Hawk) staffed with providers who have extensive experience in urgent care medicine. Urgent care providers are also available for routine care, acute care, and physicals at both our Kitty Hawk location and our center in Nags Head across from The Outer Banks Health Hospital.
Each Urgent Care Center has on-site laboratory and radiology services to enable the diagnosis, treatment, and management of urgent medical conditions and minor trauma when your primary care provider is unavailable.
