Routine Care, Urgent Care & Emergency Care - When to Dial 911

Routine care is regular care you receive from any Primary Care Manager; including but not limited to check ups, Physical Health Assessments (PHAs), immunizations, lab services and health screenings.

Urgent care is sudden health care need that can be handled with a walk-in or same-day appointment; usually within 24 hours. Urgent care physicians handle a variety of medical problems such as: sprains, wheezing, dehydration, flu-like symptoms, small cuts that may require stitches, ear aches, medication refills, etc.

There are multiple ways to receive care in the way that works best for you. |  How Do I Get Care?
