What facility is best for my symptoms, and when should I go?
Wayne General Hospital offers Primary Care Clinics, a Walk-In (acute care ) Clinic, and an Emergency Department
Making the right choice on where to go for your medical care can sometimes be a hard decision, based on your symptoms.
When you are feeling sick or are injured, there are several key places you can go for medical care: a doctor’s office, an urgent care center, or the emergency room. Here is a quick guide to help you know where to go, based on the urgency of your condition.
Doctor’s Office:
Your primary care doctor should be your first call in non-emergency situations. Your doctor knows you and your health history, including what medications you are taking and what chronic conditions might need to be considered in your treatment.
This option can also help you avoid the long wait times typically found in an emergency room. Even if your doctor is unavailable or not an expert in the area of care you need, he or she can refer you to a specialist or another medical professional.
Walk-In Clinic:
Our Walk-In Clinic is staffed by nurse practitioners. It is designed to treat a range of acute conditions like colds and flu, viral infections, and skin conditions.
Emergency Department:
Emergency Departments are designed to treat urgent, acute, and life-threatening conditions and are not the place for routine care or minor ailments. If you feel you are dealing with a health emergency, call 911 or go to the Wayne General Hospital Emergency Department immediately. Otherwise, one of the above options will save you time and money, and clear the way for patients in need of emergency treatment.
