Not sure if you need urgent care? Call us first.

Start with your primary care team.

If you’re feeling sick or have been hurt, it can be hard to know where to go. For most problems that aren’t emergencies, your primary care team is usually the best place to start.

Your care team knows your health history and can help you get the care you need. Martin’s Point Health Care Centers often have same-day appointments if you need to be seen soon, so call your primary care office for advice or to make an appointment.

If there are no appointments or urgent care is a better choice, your care team will help you find the right place to go.

Know when to seek emergency care.

If you have a serious or life-threatening problem, go to the nearest emergency room or call 911 right away. Some examples include:

• Chest pain
• Difficulty breathing
• Seizures
• Signs of a stroke
• Sudden severe pain
• Broken bones
• Loss of consciousness
• A head injury
• Uncontrollable bleeding
• Poisoning or overdose
• A mental health crisis

You can get mental health support whenever you need it.

If you or someone you care about is experiencing a mental health crisis, call or text 988 for immediate support. You can also text HOME to 741741 to reach the Crisis Text Line.
