⏱️ When to use urgent care (and when to go to the hospital)
Use urgent care to
Fever, sore throat, minor cuts, sprains, simple exams, vaccinations and rapid tests.
Go to the hospital to
Chest pain, severe shortness of breath, signs of stroke, exposed fractures, bleeding and critical emergencies.
With adequate insurance, urgent care usually has copay smaller than a hospital — I always include this bill in the planning of those who are going to move.
🧠 Rehabilitation: Intensive recovery close to home
For families with elderly people or those after serious medical events, intensive rehabilitation in the city shortens commutes and speeds up the return to routine.
- Post-stroke and brain injury programs.

✅ Preventive health and routine

Primary medicine, check-ups and chronic care management.
Immunizations
Vaccines in urgent care and public clinics.
Exams
Local laboratories and partner imaging centers.
I encourage my clients to prioritize prevention — it's cheaper and more effective than relying solely on emergencies.
💵 Costs: how I explain it to newcomers
- Hospital: copay and deductibles tend to be higher.
- Urgent care: generally more accessible for mild cases.

When comparing neighborhoods, I include the distance to each service and the average impact on the family's healthcare budget.
