  • Clear guidance and follow-up support

When to Seek Acute Care

You should schedule an acute care visit if you are experiencing symptoms that are:

  • Causing discomfort or concern
  • Not improving with home care


If you feel your condition is severe or life-threatening, please call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
