What Are You Waiting For?
Major Attention for Minor Emergencies
When you or a loved one has a minor emergency, you deserve prompt medical attention. At Sacred Heart Hospital’s new EmergiCare center, our dedicated team provides walk-in care for most minor injuries or illnesses on a first-come, first-served basis. That means first rate care with reduced waiting times.
Why EmergiCare?
When an illness or injury occurs, it’s not always easy to tell when you need to go to the Emergency Department. Many patients who visit emergency rooms often have to wait for many hours because they must be seen after other patients who have life-threatening illnesses or injuries.
With EmergiCare, your minor emergency can be attended to in less time. All of our patients are seen on a first-come, first-served basis.
And, for your peace of mind, the Sacred Heart Emergency Department is just around the corner from EmergiCare – just in case you need it.
