Urgent Care Vs Emergency Room
No one ever plans on having a sudden illness, injury or emergency situation. Often times, these happen after-hours when your doctor is not available. Choosing the right facility for the right care can be critical to one’s health. That is why when a medical emergency happens, it is important for you to know which type of facility will provide you with the best medical care.
Urgent Care Centers
Urgent Care centers provide medical treatment for minor ailments, injuries, and illnesses. These centers usually are open limited hours and are not typically equipped to handle medical emergency conditions.
Emergency Room Facilities
Emergency rooms are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and are equipped and licensed to handle a wide variety of medical conditions. Doctors in an ER are trained to care for emergencies in both children and adults.
