Emergency Care or Immediate Care?

Below are some guidelines to help determine if a trip to the emergency department is necessary, or if a visit to your physician or the Immediate Care Center is more appropriate.

If any of these symptoms are present, call 9-1-1 or go to the nearest hospital emergency department:

  • Difficulty breathing
  • Chest pain
  • Alteration in level of consciousness or mental status/behavior
  • Severe allergic reaction that includes hives or throat swelling
  • Profuse bleeding
  • Inability to eat or drink
  • Pain that cannot be controlled by over-the-counter medications, ice, etc.
  • Any other life-threatening medical condition

  • Sore throats, ear aches and sinus infections
  • Colds and flu
  • Low-grade fever
  • Minor skin rashes and allergies
  • Sprains, strains and fractures
  • Minor back, joint or muscle pain
