What this means for YOU:

Call 911 if your ailment is life threatening. If you are uncertain about if you need to visit a doctor, seek advice or go anyway. You may be able to call a nurse at your insurance company, local hospital or clinic. Don’t forget about routine doctor’s visits. Preventive care is always the best investment of your healthcare dollars.
