When to Come to the ED or Urgent Care
Less stress, less time, and less money.
The right service and high quality care you deserve.
We can’t predict when illnesses and injuries will occur. You could be at the beach, the lake, or headed toward the Blue Ridge Mountains. Or you could be enjoying a quiet day at home. No matter where you are when you or your loved one gets sick or injured, the experts at MUSC Health Emergency and Urgent Care are ready to help.
We can save you stress, time, and money
Our innovative care model includes an Emergency Department (ED) and urgent care center under the same roof. You get three key advantages when visiting MUSC Health Emergency and Urgent Care:
- You’ll save the stress of assessing a medical situation on your own, since we care for all levels of emergency and urgent care needs.
- You’ll save time by heading straight to our location nearest you, where you can count on a shorter wait time than you may find at other care centers.
- You’ll save money. If we care for you in our urgent care center, we’ll bill you at the urgent care rate, which is lower than the fees for services in the ED.
Streamlined care for prompt service
Soon after you arrive at one of our locations, an emergency-trained physician will evaluate your medical condition. Patients who need urgent care services are quickly and safely moved to our urgent care center. This triage process allows for a shorter wait time than you might have at other EDs and urgent care centers in the Carolinas.
Our unique care model saves families time, stress, and money. When you need medical care, see the experts at MUSC Health Emergency and Urgent Care, where you can count on high-quality, patient- and family-centered care.
