Frequently Asked Questions about Our Emergency Room 

When should I go to the emergency room? 

Go to the emergency room right away for chest pain or pressure; difficulty breathing; signs of a stroke, such as facial drooping, arm weakness, or difficulty speaking; loss of consciousness; seizures; a severe allergic reaction; a serious injury or accident; severe bleeding; sudden confusion; or any condition that may be life-threatening. Our medical team is here around the clock. If your symptoms can wait a day, one of our clinics in King City or Greenfield can see you. 

What is the difference between the ER and urgent care? 

The emergency room is open 24/7 and treats conditions that could become life-threatening, while urgent care has set hours and handles issues like minor cuts, colds, and sprains. 

Do I need an appointment or referral? 

No. Walk into our emergency room any hour of the day without an appointment or a referral. Mee Memorial Healthcare System accepts most major insurance plans and offers financial assistance for patients who qualify.
