Have you ever made a trip to the ER? Most of us have at one point in our life. ERs are designed to help with life-threatening illnesses or accidents, but unfortunately, they often get backed up with non-emergency patients. This back-up exhausts the staff and increases wait times for those that need help the most. Urgent care centers are designed to relieve emergency rooms by seeing patients that have urgent,but not emergent, illnesses or injuries. Urgent care centers can be more accessible with less wait time, as well as save you hundreds, if not thousands of dollars. Understand the difference between ERs and Urgent care centers and use them appropriately.
