Know when and where to go
When Illness or injury strikes, you need to decide where and when to get your health care. Sometimes it’s confusing to know when to go to the emergency room (think shark bite) and when urgent care would be a good option (think bug bite). We hope the guidance below helps when you need to decide: Walk-In Care vs. Emergency Care.
If your condition is life-threatening, call 911 or go to the emergency department immediately. And when you need care for a less serious problem, your primary care provider’s office or our "walk-in" care locations can help. When it isn’t an emergency, call your primary care provider’s office any time for advice. That call may save you time!
