What Are You Waiting For?
Major Attention for Minor Emergencies
When you or a loved one have a minor emergency, you deserve prompt medical attention. To help meet this need, The Sacred Heart Hospital Emergency Department offers EmergiCare for non-life-threatening injuries or illnesses. At EmergiCare, your minor emergency can be attended to with less of a wait.
Why EmergiCare?
At EmergiCare you will not be competing for priority with the most serious medical emergencies, as in the main Emergency Department. Each EmergiCare patient will be treated on a first-come, first-served basis by EmergiCare's own staff of physicians and nurses.
When Should I Go to Emergicare?
EmergiCare is part of the Emergency Department and is not an Urgent Care Center. EmergiCare patients have minor emergencies that are not life-threatening, but need prompt medical attention.
