Call 911 or go to the ER
- Chest pain or pressure

Go to urgent care
Urgent care centers treat problems that can't wait but aren't emergencies, especially in the evening or on weekends:
- Minor cuts that may need stitches
- Sprains and minor injuries
- Fever, flu symptoms, sore throat, or ear pain
- Painful urination
Call your clinic first
For new symptoms, medication questions, refills, and ongoing conditions, call Zero to 120 Care at (425) 440-7760 during office hours. After hours, for non-emergency questions, call (253) 293-5757. Your own clinic knows your history, and a clinic visit usually costs much less than the ER.
