Summer Safety

Longer days, warmer sunshine, and a few safety precautions

Summer SafetyDuring the next few months, families will be more active than normal with school being out and summer vacations planned.  We will be enjoying excursions, playing on the beach, visiting parks and barbecuing a lot more often.  With all of this extra activity comes the unfortunate increased chance of injury.  Summer safety is about being aware of your surroundings, being prepared and having a detailed plan of action if someone needs help.

When your child, you or a loved one falls, breaks a bone or gets overheated, it can be quite scary and the emergency room is not a place where most of us want to sit around waiting for hours on end.  Fortunately, there is another option!  Urgent care clinics are an excellent alternative to the ER, unless of course it’s a life-threatening situation. Urgent care facilities can treat many injuries or illness from broken bones, sore throats, poison ivy rashes and stomach viruses to giving tetanus shots and taking x-rays.

Not all urgent care facilities are equal.  It can be difficult to make decisions or to differentiate quality medical care in the midst of a scary situation like a trauma, an animal bite, a sprained ankle or illness.

Making those decisions now is the best way to prepare yourself and your family for the possibility of needing a quick walk-in urgent care facility to seek treatment without an appointment.
