Where to go if you are hurt

Most insurers define a medical emergency as a sudden, unexpected injury or illness that poses an immediate threat to life, limb or body function.

Local Hospitals

Urgent care centers usually cost less than emergency room visits and have shorter wait times. Many insurers will not cover ER visits if the situation is not an emergency.
