Continuing your care after an ER visit

Sometimes after an ER visit, our doctors may recommend you receive follow-up care with a specialist. Following these instructions is important for monitoring your condition and promoting your recovery. Our team members may reach out to assist in scheduling an appointment. They can also help you find a doctor close to your home that offers the care you need.

The CareAssure program, part of our Care Connect initiative, helps patients ward off future health problems. Whether you came to us for an ER visit, had an inpatient hospital stay or received an outpatient service, our team will review your tests to identify any risk factors for a future medical event. Our goal is to diagnose conditions before they result in a medical emergency, like a heart attack or stroke. If a risk is identified, we will contact you and connect you with the care you need to prevent future health problems.
