The difference between ER vs urgent care, and when to go

More from this show

When should you go to the ER vs urgent care? Being sick or injured is never fun, and being unsure of whether to seek care at an urgent care or emergency department can make that experience even worse, especially if you choose the wrong one. Going to an ER when you should be at an urgent care could result in lost time, money, and unnecessary strain on medical staff, and the same can be said for the opposite situation.

Samia Kadri, a Banner Urgent Care Nurse Practitioner, joined “Arizona Horizon” to explain different scenarios that require ER and ones for urgent care.
