Where to Go
ER vs Urgent Care: Which Is Right for You?
Urgent care centers handle minor illnesses and injuries. An emergency room is built for serious or life-threatening problems — with on-site imaging, labs, and board-certified ER physicians, 24/7.
Call 911
Life-threatening emergencies: chest pain, stroke signs, severe bleeding, or trouble breathing.
Go to the ER
Serious or worsening symptoms that need fast diagnosis and treatment, any hour of the day or night.
Urgent Care or Your Doctor
Minor issues like mild colds, small cuts, or routine prescription refills.
