If you are a Keck Medicine patient, Keck Medicine operates an Evaluation and Treatment Clinic (ETC) at Keck Hospital of USC that offers urgent, non-emergency services to treat medical issues such as a urinary tract infection or a complication from a chronic illness.
ETC visits are by appointment. Your Keck Medicine–affiliated care provider will refer you to the ETC, where staff have access to your medical records, as well as to laboratory and radiographic equipment so you can have lab work done or get an MRI, CT scan or X-ray. The ETC is open 24 hours a day and staffed by either an emergency medicine or internal medicine physician.
If you need immediate emergency care, please call 911 or visit the emergency room at USC Verdugo Hills Hospital or your local emergency department.
