Urgent Care Center & Walk in Clinic

Welcome to Care One of Florida, offering competent, convenient and cost-effective urgent and ongoing medical care to patients in Hernando, Citrus and Pasco counties. We are among the Tri County area's first urgent care centers, leading a trend toward more competent, convenient and cost-effective care for non-emergent medical conditions of all types. We are your alternative to the high costs and long wait times you'll face in traditional emergency rooms.
Safe, Competent Care
Care one of Florida's Spring Hill clinic and Brooksville clinic are staffed with experienced, highly-trained and board-certified physicians and nurse practitioners who keep up-to-the-minute on medical advancements, treatments and technologies. Our medical staff members are board-certified in family practice, Workman's Compensation, emergency nursing and trauma nursing. And our electronic medical records system assures that your sensitive medical information is highly accurate and protected.
Besides urgent care, we also offer a range of treatment options for ongoing conditions; various health and drug screenings; employment, DOT and sports physicals; prevention-based health and wellness programs that help you pinpoint potential health risks and manage them before they affect your health. Weight loss, smoking cessation and other programs are tailored for your unique situation and lifestyle to improve and maintain your health.
Short Wait Times
When you visit a Care One of Florida urgent care medical clinic with a condition requiring immediate attention, you can be sure you'll be seen quickly. No appointment is necessary and we see priority patients first, while also ensuring minimal wait times for patients whose conditions are less severe. Studies show that the average emergency room wait time nationwide is nearly four hours because ER physicians are seeing not only emergent cases, but many non-emergent cases as well. When you visit Care One of Florida for your non-emergent medical care needs, you help lessen the burden on local ER staff, allowing them to better focus on the more emergent, critical care patients they were designed to treat. Not only do our urgent care clinics save you time, they help make healthcare safer, quicker and more affordable for everyone.
High-Quality, Low-Cost Care
A visit to a Care One urgent care medical clinic rather than the local ER also will save you money - lots of it. Urgent care clinic visits cost a fourth of the money that an average ER visit will set you back. In fact, Florida' typical emergency department bills range from $1,000 to over $7,000, with more than half of Florida's hospitals exceeding $2,500 per visit according to FloridaHealthFinder.gov.
Care One of Florida delivers high-quality care that is equally as effective and safe as the care you'll get in an ER, with new patient visits starting at a low $85 and established patient visits beginning at $65.
For competent, convenient and cost-effective care, Care One of Florida is your source. Visit our Brooksville clinic or Spring Hill clinic today and get your life on a healthier, happier track.

Swine Flu Information
Human infections with a swine-origin influenza A (H1N1) virus that is transmissible among humans were first identified in April 2009 with cases in the United States, Mexico and other countries world-wide. The epidemiology and clinical presentations of these infections are currently under investigation.
Groups at high risk
There are insufficient data available at this point to determine who is at higher risk for complications of swine-origin influenza A (H1N1) virus infection. At this time, the same age and risk groups who are at higher risk for seasonal influenza complications should also be considered at higher risk for swine-origin influenza complications.
Groups at higher risk for seasonal influenza complications include:

Persons aged 50 years or older
Children or adolescents (aged 6 months – 18 years) who are receiving long-term aspirin therapy and who might be at risk for experiencing Reye syndrome after influenza virus infection

Adults and children who have chronic pulmonary, cardiovascular, hepatic, hematological, neurological, neuromuscular or metabolic disorders
Adults and children who have immunosuppression (including immunosuppression caused by medications or by HIV)

Swine influenza A virus infection can cause a wide range of symptoms, including fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. Some people have reported diarrhea and vomiting associated with the swine flu. Like seasonal flu, swine flu in humans can vary from mild to severe. Severe disease with pneumonia, respiratory failure and even death is possible with swine flu infection. Sometimes bacterial infections may occur at the same time as or after infection with influenza and lead to pneumonias, ear infections or sinus infections.

Transmission of swine-origin influenza A (H1N1) is being studied as part of the ongoing outbreak investigation, but limited data available indicate that this virus is transmitted in ways similar to other influenza viruses. Seasonal human influenza viruses are spread from person to person primarily through large-particle respiratory droplet transmission (e.g. when an infected person coughs or sneezes near a susceptible person). Transmission via large-particle droplets requires close contact between source and recipient person because droplets do not remain suspended in the air. Contact with respiratory-droplet contaminated surfaces is another possible source of transmission.
Reducing the risk
The risk for swine-origin influenza A (H1N1) might be reduced by taking steps to limit possible exposure to persons with respiratory infections. These actions include frequent handwashing, covering coughs and having ill persons stay home except to seek medical care. Additional measures that can limit transmission of the virus reducing unnecessary social contacts and avoidance whenever possible of crowded settings.
