Urgent vs. Emergency Care
Deciding which symptoms indicate a need for urgent care versus the emergency department can be challenging. When your doctor isn’t available to see you, get urgent care for everyday conditions that can’t wait for treatment. If you are experiencing a severe illness or a condition that is life-threatening, call 911 or visit your closest emergency services.
