land of Aruba. You've scheduled your days
with exciting activities or to relax by the beach
or pool. Of course, the least you would expect
is to get sick or become in need of medical
assistance. Because honestly, who does that
while on vacation?

But when that happens, you need to know
who and where to visit. So, the first step is to
assess your medical need and its urgency.
At Urgent Care Aruba, we offer medical as-
sistance for non-life-threatening illnesses and
injuries. We accept walk-ins from Monday to
Friday from 8 am to 8 pm, Saturday from 8 am
to 4 pm, Sunday/Holiday from 10 am to 2 pm.
Therefore, receive a better cost value than the
Emergency Room as the alternative option.
