Emergency Department Visits

Emergency Department visits occur when individuals seek immediate medical care for urgent health issues, such as severe injuries, sudden illnesses, or worsening conditions. These facilities are equipped to handle a wide range of medical emergencies, providing diagnosis and treatment around the clock. Common reasons for visiting include chest pain, difficulty breathing, and serious cuts or fractures. While Emergency Departments prioritize critical cases, they also address less severe conditions, making them an essential part of the healthcare system for timely interventions when primary care isn't available or suitable.
