Summer is supposed to mean lazy mornings, long days, and the freedom to finally slow down. But if you have kids, you know the reality: summer is also the season of scraped knees, sunburns, rolled ankles, last-minute camp physicals, and the occasional late-night panic when one of the kids has a mystery fever. Between the adventure and the chaos, your family's health needs don't take a vacation.

As the only concierge immediate care built, Sollis is built for families who can’t afford to wait (or simply don't want to). Our exceptional ER-trained clinicians are standby after hours and around the clock for healthcare designed to feel totally different from the traditional urgent and emergency care experience. 

Here are five ways Sollis protects your family all summer long.

1. 24/7 Access (Even When You're Far From Home)

Summer means beach houses, mountain cabins, family road trips, and long weekends in new places. What it shouldn't mean is scrambling to find an urgent care clinic at 11 PM in an unfamiliar town because your child spiked a fever.

24/7 Virtual Care

Sollis members have virtual access to emergency medicine doctors 24 hours a day, 7 days a week—including holidays. Whether you're home in the city or two states away, you can reach a Sollis physician by phone and get real guidance (not someone reading from a script or sending your calls to voicemail). When you're back in range of a Sollis location, you can be seen without the wait with unlimited in-person visits. 

Travel Support All Over the World

Our travel support offers medical guidance and advocacy no matter where in the world you're headed with 24/7 access, including global care navigation to connect you with trusted local providers, clinical advocacy if you require emergency or hospital care, and even prescription support 

2. Fast, Expert Care for Summer's Inevitable Accidents

“Hey, Mom, look!”

In the summer, kids are constantly having fun and testing their limits by climbing, jumping, swimming, and running. Sollis is built to handle the moments when things go sideways. 

Some of the urgent and emergency summer needs Sollis can address on the spot include:

• Sunburns and heat illness

• Allergies and asthma 

• Ear infections and swimmer’s ear

• Animal, plant, and insect bites and stings

• Cuts and scrapes

• Sprains, strains, and pulled muscles

• Fractures and breaks

Whether it's a deep cut that might need stitches or a run-in with a jellyfish, Sollis has the staff and on-site capabilities to assess and treat your child on the spot 99% of the time. With in-house imaging, labs, and IV therapy, many situations that would typically require an ER visit can be handled right at Sollis without delay. 

And because your Sollis physician already knows your family, there's no starting from scratch—just expert care, efficiently delivered. Learn more about how Sollis accesses your full medical history with the health information exchange (HIE) for better care here. 

3. Keeping Up with Kids' Health All Summer Long

Summer may feel like a break from routine, but it also often comes with its own health to-do list. With same-day appointments and virtual care, Sollis takes the friction out of everyday and preventive care needs like:

• Camp physicals and sports clearance forms

• Required vaccinations for international travel

• Prescription support and medication adjustments (depending on your location)

For parents managing multiple kids, multiple schedules, and the general chaos of summer, having a medical team that's responsive and organized isn't a luxury—it's a lifesaver.

4. A Calmer, Faster Alternative to the ER

In the summer, the ER fills up fast with people suffering from seasonal illnesses, sport-related injuries, and other conditions—especially on holidays and over the weekend. Surging patient volumes mean longer waits, more stress, and higher costs. When something happens, the last place you want to spend the night is in a packed waiting room with a hurt or scared child.

Sollis centers are designed for calm, not chaos, with:

• Tiny waiting rooms with average waits of 3.5 minutes

• Comfortable private exam rooms with TVs, snacks, and toys

• On-site imaging and labs for rapid diagnostics

Hospital Advocacy

In the minority of cases where an ER visit is genuinely necessary, Sollis doesn't just send you on your way. Instead, we offer patient advocacy to make your hospital stay smoother, safer, and more comfortable by: 

• Helping coordinate your hospital stay  

• Securing immediate admissions (rather than going through ER) 

• Handling communication with clinical teams 

• Coordinating care plans 

• Arranging hospital VIP services

5. Concierge Care That Treats the Whole Family

Perhaps the most meaningful thing that Sollis offers is something you can’t find anywhere else: an ongoing relationship with your urgent and emergency care doctors. A medical team that knows your family is the standard in primary care—what if you had that same kind of trust and connection during life’s most critical moments?  

Sollis’s Signature, Platinum, and Pediatrics memberships tailor care to your whole household, whether you have children, support an aging family member, or bring your nanny with you on vacation. Every member of your family gets that same level of personalized attention, even when the unexpected happens. Having healthcare that keeps pace with your busy life means everything.
