When do I need the ER instead of urgent care?

Emergency rooms provide advanced care for severe injuries and life-threatening conditions. ER teams prioritize patients with the most severe or pressing needs.

As a result, you may wait a long time in the ER if your condition could be treated with urgent care at NewMed Immediate Care.

Conditions that need ER attention include:

Sudden and/or severe pain
Seizures
Sudden, severe headaches
Fever with a rash, stiff neck, or headache
Head or eye injury
Sudden vision changes
Broken bones or dislocated joints
Severe vomiting or diarrhea
Known or suspected poisoning or overdose
Severe wounds with heavy bleeding

Call 911 if you have signs of a life-threatening emergency. The signs of a heart attack include chest pain, difficulty breathing, and pain in your jaw or arm. A stroke may cause weakness on one side (one arm or one side of your face) and difficulty speaking.

When you need prompt, same-day treatment, you can depend on exceptional care from the NewMed Immediate Care team. They welcome walk-in patients, but you can also call the nearest office or schedule an appointment online.
