When to Go to the Closest Emergency Room
You know your body and you know when something's not right. If you’re seized by sudden pain or having a severe allergic reaction, don't hesitate to get care. Call 911 immediately to be taken to the closest ER if you experience any of the following:

• Complicated fractures
• Deep wounds
• Extreme difficulty breathing
• Major head injury
• Poisoning
• Severe allergic reactions
• Severe burns
• Suspected heart attack
• Suspected stroke
• Vomiting or coughing up blood

Know that AdventHealth North Pinellas is here to help make the experience smoother, combining ER expertise with compassionate care so you can start feeling whole again. Our emergency department has both received a Chest Pain Center Accreditation from the Society of Cardiovascular Patient Care and has been designated as a Primary Stroke Center by the state of Florida. That means you can rest assured that, especially in heart attack or stroke cases, we have cultivated an ER of excellence that results in better, more efficient emergency medical treatments.

What to Expect When You Visit Our ER
In an emergency situation, you'll have a lot of questions, and we’ll be here to answer each one. We’ll have some questions for you, too, because the more we know, the more quickly and effectively we can treat you. First, we’ll ask for basic information like your medical history and the reason for your visit. After we take your vital signs, we’ll decide on the best way to help you.

Because we’re dedicated to bringing you timely care in our 24-hour emergency rooms, we prioritize using a process known as triage. This means a later-arriving patient suffering from a suspected stroke may receive treatment sooner than someone else in a non-critical condition. But you can be confident we’ll do all we can reduce our ER wait times, so we can bring you timely, effective emergency medical treatments.

When you need treatment for non-critical injuries or illnesses, such as rashes or sprains, you can find 24-hour support in our local urgent care centers. Our highly skilled medical teams are ready to help you with a range of minor ailments, including:

• Allergic reactions and hives
• Cold, flu and common illnesses
• Cuts that need stitches
• Disease management
• Minor cuts (onsite stitches available)
• Rashes
• Sprains, strains and fractures
• Stomach and digestive conditions

You need to focus on taking care of yourself or your loved one. We accept most major insurance plans, and we don’t require you to schedule an appointment. That way, you can find care more quickly. Because we also care about your future health, we offer preventive services in urgent care, like annual physical exams, flu shots and EKGs, helping you enjoy life confidently.

We want to make your care as convenient as possible for minor ailments. You can speak with a doctor or nurse practitioner without leaving your house using a smartphone, tablet or computer. Our video visit specialists offer virtual appointments for many minor injuries and illnesses, including:

• Conjunctivitis (pink eye)
• Cough, colds, bronchitis and flu
• Lower-back pain
• Seasonal allergies
• Sinus and upper-respiratory infections
• Skin conditions
