Freestanding clinics dot area neighborhoods, but not all are staffed and equipped to handle all emergencies.</p>
<p>Emergi-Care – formerly Clear Lake ER – has the staff, equipment, and services to handle any emergency, big or small, and is conveniently located for Clear Lake area residents.</p>
<p>Emergi-Care is a full-service, freestanding emergency clinic with six patient rooms, a CT scanner, X-ray machine, full laboratory, and pharmacy. At Emergi-Care, the physicians and nurses are fully-trained, with experience in emergency medicine, ready to handle any emergency, big or small.</p>

<p>The mission of Emergi-Care is to provide the Clear Lake community with a convenient alternative to overcrowded hospital rooms by delivering fast, friendly, high-quality medical treatment in a comfortable neighborhood setting.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.emergicare.net/the-emergi-care-difference/">The Emergi-Care Difference</a></p><p>Historically, a medical emergency meant a trip to your local hospital emergency room, and likely an hours-long wait to be seen. In recent years, however, freestanding medical facilities have popped up in neighborhoods all across the US.</p>
<p>Not all of these centers are created equal, though, so you should know what <strong><em>your</em></strong> neighborhood facility offers <strong>before </strong>you need it.</p>
<p><strong>Urgent Care Facilities</strong></p>
<p>While the facility closest to you may be an <em>urgent care</em> facility, that doesn’t mean it will be open and equipped to handle your emergency. Urgent care facilities are not open 24 hours a day, and may not be open on holidays. These facilities are also limited on the types of conditions they are equipped to treat. Generally, an urgent care facility is able to treat minor, non life-threatening conditions such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>Minor burns or injuries</li>
<li>Sprains and strains</li>
<li>Coughs, colds, sore throat</li>
<li>Ear infections</li>
<li>Allergic reactions (non life-threatening)</li>
<li>Fever or flu-like symptoms</li>
<li>Rash or other skin irritation</li>
<li>Mild asthma</li>
<li>Broken bones</li>
<li>Animal bites</li>
</ul>
<p>For less severe medical needs – including sports physicals and flu shots – urgent care facilities may be a good choice, without the lengthy wait times common to hospital emergency rooms.</p>
<p><strong>The Emergi-Care Difference</strong></p>
<p>Freestanding emergency medical care facilities like Emergi-Care in Clear Lake, can treat any condition, ailment, or injury that would be treated at a traditional hospital emergency room.</p>
<ul>
<li>Acute abdominal pain</li>
<li>Asthma and breathing problems</li>
<li>Bladder and kidney problems</li>
<li>Chest pains and heart attacks</li>
<li>Head injuries</li>
<li>Overdoses</li>
<li>Pain control</li>
<li>Seizures</li>
</ul>
<p>Unlike urgent care centers, these emergency facilities are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and are regulated by the State of Texas and are required by the Department of Health to meet strict standards in all areas of staffing, services, and equipment.</p>
<p>At Emergi-Care, and facilities like it, patients are treated by board certified physicians and nurses trained in emergency medicine. And, these facilities are equipped with their own laboratory, X-ray, and CT equipment so lab results are completed in a matter of minutes. When hospital admittance is required, hospital transfer will be arranged quickly and efficiently.</p>
<p>Being well-informed about the medical facilities near you may make all the difference when you’re faced with your next emergency.</p>
