ER or Urgent Care Center?

Sometimes it is difficult to know whether you should go to an Emergency Room or Urgent Care Center. You should use a hospital's emergency department for very serious or life-threatening problems. If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, do not wait! Call 911 or get to the nearest hospital emergency room:

• Chest pain
• Severe abdominal pain
• Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
• Sudden dizziness, weakness or loss of coordination or balance
• Sudden blurred vision
• Numbness in the face, arm or leg
• Sudden, severe headache
• Deep cuts or bleeding that will not stop
• Coughing up or vomiting blood
• Severe burns
• Seizures

For less serious health concerns, visit one of our affiliated Doctors on Duty or Urgent Care Centers. Locations listed here.
