Emergency Care
When you’re experiencing severe pain, a serious injury, or symptoms of a life-threatening condition like a heart attack or stroke, you should head to your nearest emergency department immediately. MercyOne's Emergency Department is here for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. For less serious illnesses or injuries, however, it may be more appropriate to seek help at an urgent or convenient care location or schedule an appointment with your primary care provider.
