Choosing the Right Care for Your Health Needs

When you're feeling unwell or have sustained an injury, knowing where to seek care can be confusing. The type of symptoms you experience or the nature of your injury can help determine the most appropriate care option.

For Mild to Moderate Issues: Start by contacting your doctor’s office. In many cases, your doctor may offer same-day appointments or fit you into their schedule. If you don’t have a primary care provider or can't see your doctor, a nearby SIH Walk-In Clinic or SIH Urgent Care can address a wide range of common illnesses and injuries.
For Severe or Life-Threatening Emergencies: If you're facing a serious health crisis, it's crucial to act quickly. Immediately call 911 or head to the nearest Emergency Room. Remember, if you suspect a serious head injury, stroke, or heart attack, do not attempt to drive yourself—call for emergency assistance.

By choosing the right level of care, you ensure that you receive timely and appropriate treatment for your needs. The chart below provides a quick reference for common illnesses and injuries you may experience. This chart is not exhaustive and should not be considered medical advice. When in doubt, always err on the side of caution.
