- Major injuries from accidents
- Chest pain
- Stroke symptoms
- Choking
- Ingesting poison
- Broken bones
- Any sudden or rapid changes to your health
Immediate Care Options
When Appropriate, Choose Immediate Care
If symptoms don’t seem severe, but you need medical care faster than an appointment can provide, Hancock Health offers immediate care. See our immediate care center for any of the following:
- Minor cuts, scrapes, and bruises
- Minor swelling, aches, and pains
- Ear infections
- Cold symptoms (coughing, sore throat, fever)
- Flu symptoms (nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea)
- Sprains and minor injuries
Some illnesses and injuries obviously call for emergency care, but some are not so obvious. Trust your instincts and listen to your body when making your decision.
