Urgent Care or Emergency Room?

When you have a life-threatening situation, such as chest pain, stroke or sudden and severe bleeding or pain, dial 911 or go to the nearest emergency room (ER). If you arrived at urgent or walk-in care with these symptoms, you would be transferred to the ER in an ambulance. If your condition is less severe but still requires immediate attention, choosing an urgent care facility can save you time and money while keeping the ER free to treat more serious situations. 

Call 911 or Go to the Emergency Room:
The ER is the best place for these and other critical conditions:

  • Chest pain or heart attack
  • Difficulty breathing
  • Head injury, severe bleeding or trauma
  • Loss of consciousness
  • Sudden loss of vision or blurred vision
  • Severe pain

When Urgent Care can better meet your needs:

  • Minor burns or injuries
  • Sprains and strains
  • Coughs, colds and sore throats
  • Allergic reactions (non life-threatening)
  • Ear, eye or skin infections
  • Fever or flu-like symptoms
  • Rash or other skin irritations
  • Mild asthma
  • Bug or animal bites
  • Suspected bone fractures
Emergency Medicine Healthgrades AwardHolland Hospital Emergency Room has 43 private exam rooms, including specially equipped trauma rooms. The ER team includes 15 board-certified emergency physicians and a skilled nursing team trained in cardiac, trauma and pediatric medicine. Holland Hospital is also one of the few hospitals in West Michigan certified to treat heart attack patients with emergency PCI and other cardiovascular techniques that help save lives.

Treat allergies without shots.

Unlike injection immunotherapy, commonly called allergy shots, sublingual immunotherapy is given as drops under the tongue.  Allergy drops are used at home on a daily basis replacing the weekly trip to the doctor's office for allergy shots.
