Rapid Care is not the same as Emergency Care.
All too often, illness or injury occur without warning—you wake up in the middle of the night with intense stomach pain, or you trip and cannot put weight on your swollen ankle. Perhaps your child develops a high fever over the weekend. When these types of situations happen and your primary care provider’s office is closed, you may not be certain where to go for care.

When to go to the Emergency Room at the Hospital
Certain medical conditions are considered emergencies because they can require advanced treatments, including surgery, that are only available in a hospital setting. If you or a loved one are experiencing any of the following symptoms, it’s best to go straight to the ER or call 911. Paramedics can often begin delivering life-saving treatment on the way to the hospital. If you are personally experiencing any of the following, call 911; do not drive yourself to the hospital.
Trust yourself. If you are not sure where to go, go to the Emergency Room at the hospital.
