When should I use urgent care versus the ER in Ocean City?

Answer

Urgent care can help with many non-life-threatening illnesses and minor injuries during open hours; call 911 or go to emergency care for severe symptoms, chest pain, trouble breathing, or major trauma. Confirm seasonal clinic hours before you need them. Bring insurance cards and a medication list.
