When you’re not feeling your best, you want relief fast. Before you go to an Emergency Department (ED) or Urgent Care for a minor health concern, consider calling your Genesis Primary Care provider first.*

Why? Your Primary Care Physician or Provider (PCP) knows your health history and can provide guidance and reassurance. This saves you time, money and unnecessary worry. Genesis PCPs may even be able to see you in the office the same day you call.

If you do need to go to the ED or stay in the hospital, your care doesn’t end there. By calling your PCP afterward, you take an important step toward follow-up care, a strong recovery and a healthier future.

You’re in control

Schedule an appointment with a Genesis PCP using MyChart, online at genesishcs.org/schedule or call Genesis OneCall at 740-455-7500.

If you are experiencing an emergency, call 9-1-1.
