Urgent medical care vs. Emergency medical care

Urgent care is not emergency care. Urgent care centers are same-day clinics that can handle a variety of medical problems that need to be treated right away. Most urgent care centers don't need a prior appointment and take "walk-in" patients.

This link has a detailed comparison between urgent and emergency medical care.

If you are unsure, call 9-1-1 or go to an emergency room at a hospital. You may ask any of the conference organizers or hotel personnel for help getting there.
