An urgent care center treats most of the same things a normal healthcare provider treats, the advantage being that these centers often have extended hours and don’t require an appointment.
Emergency care centers are equipped to handle life-threatening and critical conditions. For example, if you’re having chest pain, shortness of breath, and are concerned it could be a heart attack, the emergency room is the place to go.
Village Emergency Centers is a freestanding, 24-hour emergency room with the same capacity to treat critical conditions as a hospital-based emergency room. The difference is in the little-to-no wait time, free and easy parking, convenient location, a higher standard of care, and more.
