NGHS said urgent care clinics are good for non-life-threatening conditions that still need quick treatment like colds, flus, bronchitis and other conditions. 'Providing wait times online allows patients to make the best decision for their situation, whether that means heading to one of our five hospitals or seeking urgent care instead.' Wiley added. 'We're also sharing information about when you should head to the emergency room or call 9-1-1, and when you should head to urgent care or sign up for a video visit.'
