The Flathead Valley is the gateway to one of the most iconic destinations in the United States: Glacier National Park. Each year, visitors arrive to experience alpine lakes, mountain views, and outdoor recreation that defines northwest Montana.

From hiking rugged trails to floating rivers and exploring mountain towns, this region is built for adventure. But with adventure comes the unexpected. Sprains, dehydration, cuts, altitude-related illness, travel-related fatigue and other urgent health concerns can happen quickly while traveling or recreating outdoors.

Our urgent care services help treat:

  • Sprains, strains, and minor fractures

  • Cuts, scrapes, and wound care

  • Dehydration and heat-related illness

  • Allergic reactions and insect bites

  • Cold, flu, and travel-related illness

Glacier Medical Associates provides both urgent care and walk-in care services across the Flathead Valley, with convenient locations in Columbia Falls, Whitefish and Evergreen, near Kalispell.

What to Do After Hours

While Glacier Medical Associates offers convenient urgent care services throughout the Flathead Valley, medical concerns do not always happen during clinic hours. Whitefish Urgent Care is open seven days a week, providing expanded access for both residents and visitors. If you are staying in Columbia Falls, Kalispell, Whitefish, or nearby communities and need medical attention after hours, it is helpful to know the locations of nearby urgent care clinics, emergency departments, and healthcare resources before you need them. For non-life-threatening concerns, travelers may also contact their primary care provider, call their health insurance nurse advice line, or use a telehealth service for medical guidance.

If you are experiencing severe symptoms such as chest pain, difficulty breathing, signs of stroke, serious injuries, uncontrolled bleeding, or any other medical emergency, call 911 or go directly to the nearest emergency department.
