Steps to Emergency Medical Care

When an emergency happens, it’s likely to be unexpected. The best plan of action is to create a process for what to do in an emergency before it occurs. By ensuring you are prepared before a medical issue arises, you’ll have a clearer mind to think about your options and more time to construct your plan of action.

Use the following steps to create your emergency plan and tailor them to your specific needs:

1.       Contact emergency medical care. For injuries or conditions that don’t require an ambulance or hospitalization, call The Urgency Room. Save the phone number of the location nearest to you and let us know you’re on your way so we can prepare for you. We also accept walk-ins, so keep our location saved in your smartphone or GPS device.

2.       Contact friends or loved ones that need to be notified. This will ensure that you or your family members can make whatever arrangements necessarily for school, work, or other activities.

3.       Be prepared. It’s always a good idea to have a first aid kit on hand for minor injuries. This can help you in the event of an emergency; keep one at home and in your vehicle.

4.       Don’t neglect aftercare. With The Urgency Room’s aftercare videos, you can continue taking the proper steps for your medical concern after you leave our doors. Don’t forget that treating your injury is only the first step on your road to recovery.

Each person has their own requirements for an emergency plan, but if and when an emergency situation arises, those with a plan usually are much calmer and can be treated more quickly. Speak to your family and friends and complete your medical emergency plan today and remember The Urgency Room is open 365 days a year from 8am to 10pm.

Saving Time With Emergency Care

Successful emergency care combines effective and efficient treatment for your medical concerns.

At The Urgency Room, most visits take 90 minutes or less. Our board-certified emergency physicians can quickly diagnose and treat adults and children in our state-of-the-art medical facility. With our on-site laboratory and medical imaging equipment, including a CT scanner, ultrasound, and x-rays, you can get exceptional emergency care fast.

A Fully Equipped Walk-In Medical Clinic

When you need emergency medical care, a traditional urgent care center can provide quick service to its patients, but offers a limited number of procedures. Hospitals feature more robust treatment options, including around-the-clock care, diagnostic laboratory equipment, and a fully qualified staff of medical professionals. But hospitals are busy and getting treatment—or even seeing a physician—can be a long, stressful process.

The Urgency Room offers a new model for emergency care. We’re a fully equipped walk-in medical clinic that combines the speed of an urgent care center with the capabilities of a hospital ER. Our state-of-the-art medical facility has x-ray equipment, ultrasound, CT scanning, and other technology to help us diagnose and treat patients quickly. This level of diagnostic imaging and laboratory testing is not available at traditional urgent care centers.

The experienced ER doctors at The Urgency Room are trained to treat patients with a broad range of ailments including broken bones, lacerations requiring stitches, chest and abdominal pain, kidney stones, concussions, asthma attacks and much more.

And unlike most hospital emergency rooms, the average wait time at The Urgency Room is less than 90 minutes.

If you’re looking for a fully equipped walk-in medical clinic where you and your family can get fast emergency care, find The Urgency Room location nearest to your home and visit us today.
