If you need immediate attention, you should always go to the closest hospital. Our doors are always open in any medical emergency. Acute care is best described as the ability to treat more serious conditions over a typical urgent care. So, if you’re experiencing unusual or moderate to severe symptoms, acute care means we are equipped to run a series of tests and collaborate with multiple specialists to help us understand why you’re not feeling well, quickly.

Prompt care is important, especially if you are experiencing an emergency or moderate to severe symptoms. We allow walk-ins in our emergency department 24/7. If you would like to find a physician or schedule an outpatient service, like an MRI or mammogram, please contact us at (219) 575-6701.
