What’s the difference between urgent care and the emergency room (ER)?

Urgent care facilities and emergency rooms treat injuries and illnesses, but they aren’t the same thing.

Emergency room

Emergency rooms specialize in treating severe, life-threatening illnesses and injuries, like heart attacks, strokes, and internal bleeding. They see patients based on their level of need, so if your symptoms are acute, you might have to wait to see a doctor.

Urgent care

Urgent care provides prompt treatment for non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries. Visit Express Urgent Care if you cut yourself and need stitches or twist your ankle while playing sports. Urgent care facilities see people on a first-come, first-served basis. This results in reduced wait times and quicker access to care.
