Maryland's Health Matters - Midtown - Fall 2016 - 3
A HEALTHY START
Urgent Care or ER?
I
t's the weekend, and you're not feeling well or are suddenly
injured. Your primary care physician's office is not open,
so where do you go to receive the most appropriate care?
The answer is: It depends. When faced with a medical
situation that requires immediate care, it may be hard to
determine if it's a true emergency or an urgent medical issue.
Life-threatening emergencies, or injuries that have the
potential to permanently disable, require that you go to a
hospital emergency room immediately. Illnesses or injuries
that don't appear to be life-threatening-but also can't wait
When to Visit
Urgent Care
until the next day or when you can see your doctor, can be
addressed in an urgent care center.
Where you go for care matters. Choosing the right facility
is important to help ensure that your health concern is handled
in the most ideal, affordable and convenient way possible.
Backed by the University and Midtown Campuses of the
University of Maryland Medical Center, our emergency
department specialists provide same-day care in two new
locations. At UM Urgent Care, you will receive quality care for
most illnesses and injuries that should be seen within 24 hours.
