Find the right care when you need it

Whether you need emergency care, urgent care or want to talk to a doctor online or in-person, we can help you find the right care close to home.


Knowing the type of care needed for each condition is important. While cold or flu symptoms can be discussed with your primary care doctor, extreme stomach and/or chest pain require immediate assistance at the emergency room.


Your primary care doctor should be your first choice for non-emergency situations. You have a relationship with your doctor and they know your health history and any medications you are taking. Visiting your primary care doctor also has the shortest wait times and the lowest out-of-pocket cost. 


Emergency rooms are designed to treat sudden and severe life-threatening injuries or illnesses.
Minor ailments are best suited for your primary care doctor or urgent care. These options will save you time, money and ensure that patients who do need emergency care are treated quickly.


Additional factors to consider when choosing the right type of care:

If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency, go directly to the ER or call 911.
