Minor Medical Services or the Emergency Room: What’s the Difference?

When you or someone in your family suddenly becomes ill or injured, the last thing on your mind should be trying to figure out where to go for prompt treatment. In times like these, it’s important to know the differences between facilities that provide minor medical services (also known as urgent care) and the emergency room (ER).

While both urgent care and ERs provide medical care for unexpected illnesses and injuries, they’re equipped with different services and cater to different levels of medical needs.
