Primary Care Doctors
It's important to have a primary care doctor, especially when managing a chronic illness. It's also great to have a primary care doctor to assist you with medication, treatments and medical questions. Emergency services should be reserved for true emergencies and a primary care doctor should be visited for cold and flu symptoms, immunizations, prescriptions, and chronic illness symptoms.
When to Call 911
Emergency services should only be used for true emergencies that could be life threatening. Emergencies include chest pains, heart attack symptoms, pregnancy complications, severe abdominal pain, motor vehicle crashes, difficulty breathing, stroke symptoms, serious injury, structure fire or unconsciousness.
