Urgent Care or the Emergency Room?

Why Urgent Care?

Make the best choice for the injury

Priority Care Clinics knows that it's not always the best decision to visit their urgent care center.

If a medical problem is life-threatening, call 911 immediately, and care will be provided at the nearest emergency room (ER).

However, ER visits should be reserved for true emergencies, such as life-threatening accidents or severe chest pain. A visit to the ER without an actual emergency can be costly and inefficient, and detract medical care from individuals who truly need emergency care.

Why Urgent Care?

The goal of urgent care is to bridge the gap between primary care physicians and the emergency room.

According to research by Fair Health Consumer, you could be paying almost 700% more at an emergency room for the same treatment vs. visiting an urgent care center.

Additionally, the National Institute of Health estimates that 1/3 of emergency room visits could be treated by an urgent care facility.
