Hospital care vs. urgent care

When you or a loved one is experiencing severe pain or discomfort, it can be hard to tell if you should go to your primary care physician, an urgent care clinic or the emergency room (ER). If you are experiencing a medical emergency, especially a potential heart attack or cardiac event, you should immediately go to your nearest ER, not an urgent care clinic.

Urgent care locations or walk-in clinics typically treat minor illnesses, such as flu or strep throat. This makes our urgent care locations ideal for treating 24-hour illnesses and other symptoms if you are unable to see your primary care doctor.

When to go to an urgent care clinic

When you need care quickly, but your condition is not serious enough for an emergency room visit, urgent care is the appropriate choice. Urgent care clinics are designed to treat patients whose illnesses or injuries do not present as life-threatening, but who cannot wait until a primary care physician can treat them.

Depending on the severity, these conditions can include:

  • Abdominal pain or other symptoms that resemble seasonal illnesses
  • Ankle sprains and other strains of muscles and joints
  • Coughs and colds
  • Earaches
  • Fevers
  • Minor cuts and burns
  • Pink eye
  • Sinus infections
  • Sore throats
  • Urinary tract infections (UTIs)

When to go to an ER

If you are experiencing a life-threatening medical emergency, call 911 immediately.

Patients should choose to visit the nearest ER when they require immediate care or suspect their condition is life-threatening.

Conditions requiring emergency care include:

  • Any concern where you feel a delay in care may have a significant impact on your health
  • Broken bones
  • Change in mental status, such as confusion
  • Chest pain lasting two minutes or more
  • Coughing or vomiting blood
  • Difficulty breathing, shortness of breath or choking
  • Loss of consciousness
  • Severe allergic reaction
  • Severe or persistent vomiting or diarrhea
  • Sudden dizziness, weakness or change in vision
  • Sudden or severe sprain
  • Uncontrolled bleeding
