How to Get the Care You Need, When You Need It.

Here are 4 steps to help keep you healthy, find the care you need and minimize your risk of long waits or delays:

1
Consider new options

If it's something minor, check online for virtual care options that can save you a trip and time. If you need an in-person exam, there are Urgent Care locations all over the area, most with evening and weekend hours.

2
Seek care early

Even if you have mild symptoms, get care now so your condition doesn’t worsen to the point where the emergency room is your only option.

3
Get vaccinated

Get your flu shot, and if you are eligible, your COVID vaccine or booster. The flu is back, and this year’s strain is more likely to result in serious illness.

4
Visit the ER only for emergencies

If it's something that threatens your life or limb, go to the emergency room. If not, call your primary care physician, go to Urgent Care or seek care online.
