Common Injuries: Should You Go to an Urgent Care or Hospital?

Jun 03, 2019

Common Injuries: Should You Go to an Urgent Care or Hospital? If you need immediate medical attention, you might only consider going to the emergency room. However, there is another, less expensive way to receive prompt, high-quality treatment for non-life-threatening conditions. Emergency room services can be very expensive, costing an average of 85% or more per visit than urgent care.

Common injuries and illnesses treated at urgent care

The Pomona Valley Health Center urgent care facilities were created to improve the patient experience through effective evaluation and treatment to quickly remedy common medical situations.

Urgent care facilities offer expert care and are equipped to treat a comprehensive list of illnesses and injuries, including but not limited to:
• Allergies
• Asthma
• Bites and stings
• Burns
• Colds and flu
• Children’s illnesses
• Eye irritation
• Fractures
• Infections
• Migraine headaches
• Minor broken bones
• Rashes
• Sprains and strains
• Sports injuries
• Urinary tract infections
• Vomiting
• And more

The skilled doctors at Pomona Valley Medical Center want to help you make the best, most cost-effective medical decisions.

Should I go to an urgent care or hospital emergency room?

It’s not uncommon for medical situations to occur at night or on a weekend—when your doctor isn’t in the office. If this happens to you, it’s important to know where you can get high-quality help fast. Emergency services should be reserved for only the most serious, often life-threatening medical issues. If you’re suffering from a sudden illness, injury, or other medical condition you would normally address with your primary doctor, urgent care is most likely the right choice for you.

La Verne, Chino Hills, Claremont and Pomona Urgent Care facilities offer expert care with a personal touch. Each of our facilities treats common injuries and illnesses with extended hours 365 days a year.

If you need to make an appointment with one of our board-certified family doctors, call 909-630-7829. All PVHC urgent care facilities are available on a walk-in basis only.
