Wrist injuries are incredibly common in kids - here's why.

Most frequent causes we see:
-Falls while playing (especially trying to catch themselves with outstretched hands)
-Sports activities like gymnastics, skateboarding, or bike riding
-Playground accidents - monkey bars and climbing equipment
-Trampoline mishaps
-Winter activities like sledding or ice skating

Kids are more prone to wrist injuries as it's their natural instinct is to put their hands out to break a fall, which puts all the force directly on their wrists. Their bones are also still growing, making certain types of fractures more likely.

When to bring them in:
-Significant pain that doesn't improve with rest
-Visible swelling or deformity
-Unable to move the wrist normally
-Numbness or tingling in the fingers
-Any time you're concerned about a possible fracture

We have on-site X-ray capabilities, so we can quickly determine if it's a sprain, fracture, or something that needs orthopedic follow-up.

Active kids get hurt sometimes - we're here to get them back to being active safely.

Ear health basics every parent should know.

Kids' ears are built differently than adults - their eustachian tubes are shorter and more horizontal, which is why ear issues are so common in childhood.

General ear health tips:
-Keep ears dry after baths and swimming
-Avoid putting anything small in their ear (yes, including cotton swabs)
-Teach kids to blow their nose gently, one nostril at a time
-Stay up to date on vaccinations (some prevent infections that can affect ears)

When to give us a call:
-Ear pain that's affecting sleep or daily activities
-Discharge from the ear
-Hearing seems different than usual
-Fever along with ear discomfort
-You're just worried and want professional guidance

Trust your parental instincts. If something seems off with your child's ears, we're here to help figure it out.

Nothing makes our day quite like hearing from patients who feel truly cared for.

These reviews remind us why we do what we do - creating a healthcare experience that's thorough, efficient, and genuinely pleasant from start to finish.

When Stephanie says she doesn't know what she'd do without us, or Jacqueline finds exactly the primary care she was looking for, that's the kind of trust we're honored to earn every single day.

Thank you to every patient who takes time to share their experience. Your words mean everything to our team.

Medical mystery solving is 10% Sherlock Holmes, 90% really good listening.

That weird symptom you're embarrassed to mention? That's often the clue that cracks the case. The family history you forgot about? Sometimes the missing puzzle piece.

We've learned that the most sophisticated diagnostic equipment in the world can't replace actually paying attention to what you're telling us.

So we listen first. Then we examine. Then we use our fancy machines to confirm what your story already told us.

Because the best diagnosis starts with believing that you know your own body better than anyone.

That moment when you're not sure if you need the ER or urgent care.

Here's our honest take: If you're conscious, talking, and able to drive yourself here, we can probably help you. Stitches? Absolutely. Possible broken finger? We've got you. Bad flu that has you worried? Let's check it out.

Emergency room is for the scary stuff—chest pain, difficulty breathing, major trauma, signs of stroke.

When you're genuinely unsure, call us. We'll talk through what's happening and help you decide the best place to get care. Even if that means sending you to the ER, we'd rather you get the right care than the convenient care.

Your safety always comes first, even if it means we don't get to see you.

Fun fact: The average sick person makes 2-3 stops to get better.

Doctor visit. Pharmacy. Back home. Sometimes another trip because the pharmacy doesn't have your medication in stock.

We thought that was ridiculous, especially when you're already feeling awful.

So we stocked the most commonly prescribed medications right here. Antibiotics for that sinus infection? Got 'em. Need to fight that UTI? Ready to go. Kids' fever reducer? A couple different options for you.

One visit. One location. One less thing to worry about when you're not feeling great.
Because being sick is complicated enough.

See that screen? You're watching your body (or sometimes your baby) do it's thing in real-time.

Real-time imaging means real-time answers.

Ultrasound technology lets us see what's happening inside your body as it's happening, without radiation or invasive procedures. It's one of our safest diagnostic tools.

The images appear immediately on screen, and your provider can review findings with you during your visit rather than making you wait days for a callback.

Safe, immediate, and non-invasive - exactly what diagnostic imaging should be.

Kids notice the toys before they notice the medical equipment.

Our pediatric exam rooms and waiting area are stocked with toys and activities that help little patients feel more at ease. When a child is focused on playing, they're usually less anxious about their checkup.

It's a simple thing, but it makes a real difference in how kids experience healthcare. Relaxed kids mean better exams and less stress for parents too.

Your children deserve care that feels welcoming from the moment they walk in.

We now offer Pediatric Primary Care, so if you're looking for a clinic to care for the entire family let's get you on our schedule! Visit our website www.VitalCareWA.com or give us a call (360) 723-0528.

Your cholesterol is 'borderline high.'
..Okay, but what does that actually MEAN?

We've noticed something: most people leave their doctor's office with lab results they don't really understand. Numbers on a page. Medical jargon. Zero context about their actual life.

Here's our thing—we think you should understand your own body. So when your results come back (usually the same day, by the way), we sit down and translate the medical-speak into real-human language.
Because 'your numbers look good' hits different when you actually know what the numbers mean.

Looking to book a visit with a Primary Care Provider? Head to our website VitalCareWA.com or give us a call (360) 723-0528 to get on the schedule!

Plot twist: You don't need to drive to Portland for a hospital-quality CT scan.

This machine uses the same technology you'd find at major medical centers, just without the traffic, parking fees, and long wait times.

CT scans help us see detailed images of bones, organs, and soft tissues when we need a clearer picture than X-rays or physical exams can provide.

Sometimes the most advanced healthcare happens in the most unexpected places.

It's 9:30 PM . Your toddler's fever just spiked to 103°F.

While you're googling 'is this an emergency' in your pajamas, we're already here. Lights on, doors open, ready.

That's not just a business model—it's a promise to Battle Ground families who've learned that childhood illnesses, sports injuries, and sudden health scares don't exactly check the calendar first.

We strive to be that late-night, middle-of-nowhere, middle-of-a-panic lifeline for this community because someone needs to be. And honestly? We can't imagine being anywhere else.

7am to midnight. Every single day.

30 minutes well worth the drive!

'THE best urgent care I've been to! The lobby is like being home... well decorated, not clinical at all. The staff makes me feel they care and don't just suggest running tests that aren't needed. I could feel comfortable there even with a long wait!'

This is exactly why we created Vital Care - healthcare should feel welcoming, not intimidating. From our home-like design to our caring approach, every detail is intentionally crafted for your family's comfort.

Experience the difference premium care makes. Open 7am-midnight, 365 days a year.
