- Chest pain
- Severe abdominal pain
- Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
- Sudden dizziness, weakness or loss of coordination or balance
- Sudden blurred vision
- Numbness in the face, arm or leg
- Sudden, severe headache
- Deep cuts or bleeding that will not stop
- Coughing up or vomiting blood
- Severe burns

Why Urgent Care?
People prefer urgent care for many reasons:
- Appointments are not required in most cases
- Operation hours extend outside of normal business hours, on weekends and holidays
- Quick, reliable medical care at your convenience
