How do emergency rooms differ from urgent care centers?

Emergency rooms are for serious issues that may be considered medical emergencies or are life-threatening. Urgent care, on the other hand, is for injuries or illnesses that are not life-threatening. It’s important to know where to go to get the care you need before you’re sick or experiencing an emergency. Read our blog article to better understand which health issues or symptom warrant a trip to the ER and which can be treated at an urgent care center.

What is a medical emergency?

It is a medical emergency if waiting to get care could be dangerous to your life or a part of your body.

What conditions typically require a visit to the ER rather than urgent care?

Life-threatening emergencies can include:

 

  • Stroke symptoms
  • Choking
  • Breathing problems
  • Head injury
  • Neck/spine injuries
  • Electric shock
