Know Where to Go for Care: Emergency vs. Non-Emergency Symptoms

Choosing the right level of care helps you receive treatment as quickly as possible while keeping emergency services available for those who need them most.  Review our flyer now to be prepared to identify symptoms that need immediate care and know those that are best addressed through the Outpatient, Walk-In Clinic or Same Day Appointments in Dillingham, at your village clinic, or through the Providence Triage line (after hours, outside of Dillingham).

If You're Not Sure
If you are unsure whether your symptoms are an emergency, contact us for guidance. If you believe you or someone else is experiencing a life-threatening emergency, do not wait—call 911 where available or seek emergency medical assistance immediately.  Together, we can ensure emergency care is available for those who need it most while helping everyone receive the right care at the right time.
