ER or Urgent Care?: Knowing which facility to visit can make a big difference

LA Downtown News - When someone is experiencing a sudden accident or illness, they might be confused about what to do and where to go. While the first thought might be “I should go to the emergency department,” many common health concerns can be addressed by a medical professional at a local urgent care center (UCC). PIH Health has seven UCCs to address people’s unexpected medical events. They can even check wait times at all UCC locations online at www.pihhealth.org/ucc.
