Emergency
Incase of a medical emergency, fire, or crime, call 911 (free number). The 911 operator will ask you to state your name, location, and the type of situation you need assistance with: doctor, fireman, police, etc.
Medical Non-Emergency
(If your medical situation is not life-threatening)
If you need to see a doctor, you must call your own doctor to make an appointment. A listing of all the local doctors in your area can be found on the LewerMark website www.lewermark.com/eicc.
Prior to scheduling a visit make sure the doctor is a LewerMark preferred provider. Most offices require an appointment in advance. If immediate medical attention is needed, all hospitals and most clinics have an emergency room or urgent care office.
Walk-in medical clinics are common and do not require an advanced appointment. Sometimes called Urgent Care, they provide a less expensive option than a never-closed hospital emergency room if your condition is not life threatening.
