King’s Daughters Urgent Care Center cares for illnesses and injuries for adults and children that cannot wait for a traditional physician appointment, but do not require the services of a hospital emergency department.
Our goal at KDMC Urgent Care is to serve your medical care needs as rapidly as possible that do not pose a threat to loss of life or limb. If in doubt, contact your personal physician, call 911 or go to the nearest dedicated emergency department.
We are available to provide treatment for your urgent medical needs when:
- your primary care physician is not available due to after hours or weekends
- your medical condition is not serious enough to require the emergency room but still requires immediate attention
- you don’t have a primary care physician
- your medical needs are not life-threatening
- you are visiting the Ashland area from out of town
KDMC Urgent Care is open seven days a week with convenient evening and weekend hours for patients seeking immediate treatment for minor illnesses as well as a variety of diagnostic and screening services, including X-rays. The Urgent Care Center differs from a typical physician’s office in that it has procedure rooms for stitching lacerations and splinting bone fractures, a radiology department for X-ray services and a laboratory for onsite lab tests like quick strep tests, rapid flu tests, tetanus shots, and blood work. We also provide breathing treatments, high blood pressure stabilization, ear drainage, and IV therapy.
Although we can stabilize many illnesses, such as asthma, hypertension and other diseases of aging, our Urgent Care Center is not designed to provide ongoing management of your healthcare needs. For ongoing medical conditions including chronic pain, contact your primary care physician for continuous monitoring of your condition and treatment.
No appointment necessary
The Urgent Care Center is open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Every effort will be made to provide you with rapid, quality care. Due to the same day availability of this service, we may experience an unpredictable surge in patient volume or a patient may arrive in serious condition resulting in an unanticipated wait time.
If you feel you are in need of immediate attention, please notify our receptionist so you can be evaluated. We appreciate your patience in these circumstances.

Insurance coverage and fees
We work to provide our patients with the best care possible. KDMC’s Urgent Care prices are based on the operating costs and are competitive with other facilities in the area. While your insurance may pay for the bill, there is a nominal fee to pay at the time of service. Additionally, you may be billed separately for lab, imaging, facility or professional fees. We have several payment options for you. You may pay by credit card, cash or check.
If you are unable to pay at the time of your visit, there are payment plans we may discuss that will allow you some payment flexibility and less worry. Our financial counselors are very experienced in helping to find alternatives for patients who qualify. To contact a financial counselor during regular business hours, please call locally 606.408.4118 or toll-free 1.866.408.6466.
Frequently asked questions
What do I need to bring with me?
Please bring a photo ID, your insurance card and a means of payment with you when you visit our center. In-network patients will pay their designated co-payment. Out-of-network patients or self-pay patients will be expected to pay in full.
What can I expect at KDMC Urgent Care?
The center is staffed with a highly qualified team of licensed physicians, nurse practitioners, and other healthcare team members. We are dedicated to providing you a rapid and effective care experience. When you leave our facility, you will be given complete discharge instructions and notified about lab work or X-rays. We also can provide your primary care physician with a summary of your urgent care visit.
What is the advantage of using KDMC Urgent Care versus a hospital ER?
KDMC Urgent Care is the right alternative to an emergency room visit for medical problems that are not life-threatening but need immediate attention. Urgent care centers typically offer shorter wait times, access to follow-up care and lower prices than an emergency room. Also, no appointment is necessary. Typically, if you have out-of-pocket expenses for urgent care, they will be less than out-of-pocket expenses for emergency care.
Is KDMC Urgent Care closed during the holidays?
No, the center is open all holidays.
