Urgent Care vs. Emergency Room

It is essential to understand the difference between a walk-in urgent care center and the emergency room. Using the correct medical treatment center can save you significant amounts of time and money, and most importantly help keep your life.

Urgent care is for conditions that require prompt attention but do not pose an immediate, serious threat to your health or life. In general, if your medical issue is life-threatening call 911 or goes directly to a hospital emergency room. If not, Urgent Care of Mercer County is an excellent alternative.
