Urgent Care Considerations

For non-emergencies, urgent care is often faster and significantly less expensive.

Low Acuity Issues

Consider urgent care for minor injuries, fevers, rashes, or symptoms that aren't life-threatening.

Cost Savings

Urgent care centers typically have lower transparent pricing and smaller co-pays than ERs.

Emergency First

Always go to the ER or call 911 for chest pain, stroke symptoms, or severe breathing trouble.
