Know When to Use the ER

Emergency rooms are for problems such as severe injuries, trouble breathing, heavy bleeding, loss of consciousness or other conditions that may threaten life, limb, sight or safety. For a less serious illness or injury, urgent care, a clinic or the MHS Nurse Advice Line may be a better choice. Eligibility rules can vary, but emergency care should never be delayed when a condition is life-threatening.
