We recognized a need in the community for an urgent care facility, so we created an all-in-one place where patients can go for treatment. From on-site rapid Covid and Viral testing to x-rays, we offer everything you need to get diagnosed and on your way to recovery without a trip to the emergency room.
Dr. Lindsay Albanese is the Director of Walk In Care at Atracare Health. She studied at Duke University and completed her residency at the University of Maryland Medical Center. Dr. Albanese recognized a need in her community for walk-in care services. Using her experience and education, she and her team collaborated to create Atracare Health, complete with an urgent care clinic. Here’s what Dr. Albanese says about her commitment to the Lewes community.
“My job is to help create an amazing experience for patients who need walk-in care. Whether you’re visiting at the beach or you live here in the area, we are open and here for you 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., seven days a week. When you can’t get in to see your primary care doctor, or if you don’t have a primary doctor but you have an urgent need, you can come in and see us. If you don’t see me here at the walk-in clinic, you’ll probably see me out walking my two Golden Retrievers who love to go swimming at the beach along with my husband and two sons. We love it here. This is our community. We did see a lack of access to healthcare for non-emergent issues, which is why we started Atracare. We want to make sure that our community is well taken care of. My passion is to help patients, and that’s the simple answer.”

Vaccines are safe, highly effective, and they work by training your immune system to respond to disease. This post breaks down why measles cases dropped dramatically after vaccination and why hepatitis B prevention matters—especially for kids—so you can make informed choices.
This article explains how most healthy people can manage cold/flu symptoms at home using over-the-counter medicines and supportive care. It breaks down what helps specific symptoms—acetaminophen or ibuprofen for fever and aches, decongestants for congestion (with cautions about blood pressure and rebound congestion), antihistamines for runny nose/sneezing, and cough suppressants or expectorants depending on the cough type—plus soothing options for sore throat like lozenges, warm liquids, saltwater gargles, and honey (for ages 1+). It warns against doubling up on the same active ingredients (especially acetaminophen in multi-symptom products like DayQuil/NyQuil) and encourages asking a pharmacist if unsure. It also lists emergency symptoms and high-risk groups who should seek medical advice, and emphasizes rest, fluids, humidifier use, and sleep as key to recovery.
