‘Consider other options’ for non-emergency needs, PeaceHealth Southwest urges as ERs fill up

PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center is again experiencing unprecedented patient volumes in its emergency department due to rising cases of RSV, flu and many other emergent health needs.

PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center asks those with non-emergency health issues to consider visiting their primary care physician or a same-day or urgent care clinic to preserve the emergency department for those patients seeking care for emergency health issues.
