Are you unsure whether you should go to the straight to the Emergency Room or go to the Walk-In Clinic (or call to schedule a Same-Day Clinic Visit)? Here is some guidance to help you determine which care makes the most sense for you…
Go to the Emergency Room (Call 911 if needed) for:
- Chest pain, severe shortness of breath, or difficulty breathing
- Signs of stroke (sudden weakness, facial droop, speech changes)
- Severe allergic reactions or swelling of the face/throat
- Major injuries, uncontrolled bleeding, or head trauma
- Loss of consciousness, seizures, or severe confusion
- Severe abdominal pain or any life-threatening emergency
Same-Day Clinic Appointments (or Walk-In Visits) Are Appropriate For:
- Coughs, colds, flu, COVID-19 symptoms, or sore throat
- Ear pain, sinus infections, or pink eye
- Urinary symptoms (burning, frequency, possible UTI)
- Mild to moderate asthma flare-ups or breathing concerns
- Rashes, skin infections, minor burns, or insect bites
- Sprains, strains, minor injuries, or back pain
- Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or other non-emergency concerns
