About Continuem

Why ContinuEM

ContinuEM is a dedicated urgent care medical facility equipped with a staff of emergency room experienced professionals ready to offer their expert care during our extensive hours. Using advanced capabilities, new technology, and compassionate care, ContinuEM offers a broader range of treatments and guarantees a lesser wait time than other neighboring facilities.

At ContinuEM, we not only care for our patients when they walk in with a medical emergency, but we care about the community in which we serve. We strive to be Southern California’s go-to urgent care facility for whatever life may throw at you. We are here to help do more for both our patients and our community.

Our Mission

ContinuEM was founded in Lakewood, California by board-certified emergency medicine physicians in 2021. Our vision is to bridge the gap between the traditional acute care options available to patients, while delivering patient alternatives who seek high quality and compassionate care at a facility with advanced capabilities. We not only meet this criteria, but we do it at a fraction of the cost of emergency room visits.

Every physician at ContinuEM trained in an emergency room. That is not a line we borrowed. It is why we can run a CT, read a lab and treat a complicated infection in the same visit, instead of sending you somewhere else to find out what is wrong.

We are a walk-in clinic, so we cannot guarantee which provider you will see on a given day. Whoever you see, they trained for the worst version of your problem.
