Urgent Care or ER: How to identify an emergency
Surprised, worried, unsure where to go and what to do? When you're caught off guard and time is of the essence, it’s natural to feel shaken and uncertain. We are here to help.
Did severe pain come out of nowhere? Has your health or the health of someone you love taken a sharp turn for the worse? If you feel a condition is life threatening or could lead to disability, trust your gut and go to the closest emergency room or call 911 for an ambulance right away. Typical emergency situations that require a trip to the nearest emergency room include:
Complicated Fractures
Deep Wounds
Extreme Difficulty Breathing
Major Head Injury
Poisoning
Severe Allergic Reactions
Severe Burns
Suspected Heart Attack
Suspected Stroke
Vomiting or Coughing Up Blood
What to expect when you visit the ER
We know that when you get to your closest ER, you'll have lots of questions. Our compassionate and experienced emergency room team is here to answer each one thoughtfully and patiently. We’ll have questions, too. Because the more we know, the better and quicker our ER specialists can treat you. We start with the basics — name, birth date, medical history, and reason for your visit. We also take your vital signs. From there, we will determine how best to proceed.
Through a process known as triage, careful prioritization can make all the difference for patients in critical condition. Sometimes, this means earlier treatment for a later-arriving patient. We strive to make ER wait times as short as possible, so that you can find ease from your stress and pain. We might see a person suffering from a suspected heart attack or stroke as soon as they get here so they can get the speedy specialized care they need. When every minute counts, you can count on us. Our emergency rooms are equipped with the latest medical technology.
To help keep your stress levels low and expedite treatment, you may want to consider keeping an information card in your handbag or wallet at all times. Include the name and number of your primary care physician, a list of your medications, drug allergies, and any advanced directives, like powers of attorney or health care proxy.
Urgent Care for Urgent Needs
For illnesses and injuries that are painful, but less urgent, such as minor injuries, strep throat, or ear infections, AdventHealth's many local urgent care centers are ready to treat you and get you back on your feet. Wherever you go, our network is equipped with compassionate, world-class specialists administering advanced clinical care with one goal in mind: to quickly bring you relief and help you feel whole again.

Let us help you be proactive about your wellness so that you can avoid the stress and wait time of an emergency room.
Video Visits: Care Without Leaving Your Couch
Yes! It's true. You can get the expert diagnosis and treatment you need without leaving your couch.

So skip the trip and the wait times, and get seen quickly via your smartphone, tablet, or desktop by one of our doctors or nurse practitioners. Our convenient Video Visit appointments allow you to get the care you need for minor ailments, including:

After your visit, trust us to connect you with physicians and resources for follow-up care and well being. We’ll even assign you to a Care Navigator (if one is available in your area), to coordinate your care and make the process easier for you. If you need hospitalization or a transfer to a specialized facility, we’ll take care of every arrangement on your way to whole-person wellness. At AdventHealth, it’s not just the body that we attend to, it’s also your peace of mind.
