ER vs. Urgent Care — When to Go Where

For life-threatening emergencies (chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe bleeding, head injury, stroke symptoms), go straight to the nearest hospital ER or call 911. For non-life-threatening issues (sprains, minor cuts, flu, ear infections, rashes), an urgent care clinic is faster and significantly less expensive. Memorial Hospital Pembroke offers an Express Care area for minor illnesses — a middle ground between ER and standalone urgent care.

Before You Go — Check-In Online

Both Memorial Hospital Pembroke and Memorial Hospital West offer online check-in for their emergency departments. You can select a time and wait at home rather than in the waiting room.
