Where to go for medical care

Where to go for medical care

If talking with a nurse isn’t enough, there are places you can go for help. But how do you know where or when to go?

It really depends on how serious your symptoms are. For example, if you have a rash or sprained ankle, a walk-in clinic or urgent care may be the best option. But if you are having trouble breathing or have sudden chest pain, you should immediately go to the emergency room (ER).

 

We can help you understand where to go for medical care.
