Is It an Emergency? When and Where to Seek Care

Sometimes, it can be difficult to know whether your illness or sudden onset health condition requires a visit to the emergency room, urgent care, or just a call to your primary care physician. In this episode of Wise & Well, we sit down with Community Memorial Healthcare Chief of Staff and Emergency Medicine Physician, Dr. Chris Johnson, to discuss when and where to seek immediate care. Dr. Johnson also shares the importance of establishing and maintaining a relationship with a primary care provider, as well as what you can do to prepare for unexpected trips to the emergency room.
