When do you go to an urgent care rather than an ER?

Sponsored post by MultiCare Indigo Urgent Care.
It’s Saturday. You’ve just returned from your 8-year-old’s soccer game. Her foot, which she landed on awkwardly during today’s game, is swollen and she’s clearly in pain.
Do you go to the ER or urgent care?
We get that question almost daily at MultiCare Indigo Urgent Care in Wallingford. We can help.
Think of urgent care as the place to go for minor illnesses and injuries such as:

The ER is the place to go for serious illnesses and injuries — a heart attack, stroke, difficulty breathing or a fracture that’s broken through the skin, to name just a few.
It’s also important to know that an urgent care costs less, sometimes as little as a doctor’s office copay — depending, of course, on your insurance plan.
