🗣️ "If needs aren’t met immediately, that doesn’t mean we don’t care. That doesn’t mean we’re not trying." – Mark Marino, MSN, BSN

Not all health concerns require an ER visit. 🚑 Emergency departments triage patients, meaning life-threatening cases come first. Save time and get the right care by choosing the right setting:

🩺 Primary Care: Preventive care & chronic conditions
📱 Telehealth: Mild illnesses & medication refills
🏥 Urgent Care: Minor injuries & illnesses
⚠️ ER: Chest pain, difficulty breathing, stroke symptoms & severe injuries

Let’s commit to respecting health care workers. They deserve safe spaces, just like the rest of us.
