Primary Care Centers
Knowing the difference between an emergency and routine
medical care is essential when someone is sick or injured. As not every
situation is an emergency, it's crucial to know the difference and where to go
for care. A primary care center is just like going to a private doctor's office-
you make an appointment and see your physician for routine care. An emergency
room is for life-threatening conditions.
