When to Visit ContinuEM or the ER
Urgent care is for problems that need attention today but are not life-threatening. Emergency rooms care for serious or potentially life-threatening conditions.
ContinuEM may be appropriate for
- • A cough or fever without emergency warning signs
- • A sprain or possible minor fracture
- • A cut that may need stitches, with bleeding controlled
- • Vomiting or diarrhea without severe dehydration or other emergency symptoms
- • Urinary symptoms that need evaluation
Call 911 for possible emergencies such as
- • Severe trouble breathing or loss of consciousness
- • A major injury or heavy bleeding that will not stop
- • Chest pain or pressure that could signal a heart attack
- • Signs of a stroke, such as facial drooping, one-sided weakness or trouble speaking
- • A sudden severe headache or other possible life-threatening symptoms
Age, pregnancy and existing health conditions can change the right setting for care. These examples are not a complete list of emergencies.
ContinuEM has set clinic hours; hospital emergency departments operate around the clock. Our on-site imaging and lab do not make us an emergency room. If our evaluation shows that you need hospital care, we explain why and help arrange transfer.
If you are having chest pressure with trouble breathing, signs of a stroke, a major injury or heavy bleeding, call 911.
