Appointment Availability
In your Medical Home, we make every effort to ensure you get an appointment when you want it including same day appointments. We strive to provide same day access for acute care with your health care team so that you won’t have to rely on the emergency room for your primary care. For routine care, we strive to get you an appointment with your health care team within 7 days.
Studies show that when you receive care from the same health care team over time, hospitalizations, unnecessary lab tests, imaging studies, and prescriptions, are reduced.
What If I Need Emergency Care?
An emergency is a sudden and unexpected medical condition, or the worsening of a condition, which poses a threat to life, limb or sight, and requires immediate treatment.
If you need emergency care, go directly to the emergency room at the nearest hospital or call 911 for an ambulance.
If you do go to an ER or receive care outside of your Medical Home, contact your Medical Home team as soon as you can. By keeping your health care team informed you help the team better coordinate your care and ensure that you get the follow up care that you need.
