Apparently, they are once triaged. I don't know for sure. There is a big sign there on the walkway in about the shuttle....at least it was the last time I had occasion to be at the hospital. They have pretty much always had the shuttles to the parking lot, but this is something different.

Update: I just called the hospital. Yes, there is a shuttle service to the Urgent Care. You go in to the information desk and they will call for the shuttle. I asked if they were sent there from the ER and she said that they are not because you have to pay at the Urgent Care and some are on Medicaid or indigent.
