EPISODE SUMMARY:
Having health care that meets you where you’re at is always important. But when you’re not feeling well or have a medical emergency, knowing where to get care can be critical for your health – and also helpful for your wallet. During a crisis, you’re more likely to pick the first place you see – which may not be the best option. We’ll break down primary care, nurse lines, telehealth, urgent care and emergency rooms so you can find the right fit for health situations ranging from small to serious.
