A Mom’s Cheat Sheet to Get Hassle-Free Holiday Healthcare
Between school parties, holiday shopping, and family gatherings, moms in New Orleans know the holidays can feel like a marathon. The last thing you need? A sick kiddo—or even worse, a sick everyone. Knowing where to turn for care during this busy season can save you time, money, and sanity. That’s where LCMC Health Urgent Care comes in! We make getting the right care quick, easy, and stress-free. Here’s your cheat sheet to navigating Primary Care, Emergency Care, and Urgent Care, with a little extra love from LCMC Health.
Primary Care: For Regular Check-Ups and Long-Term Health
Primary care is your go-to for regular wellness visits, immunizations, and managing chronic conditions. It’s the perfect solution for non-urgent needs like annual check-ups, asthma management, or follow-ups with your child’s pediatrician. Primary care helps maintain your family’s long-term health, building trusted relationships with providers who know your medical history.
Emergency Care: For Life-Threatening Situations Only
The emergency room (ER) is reserved for critical, life-threatening situations. Think severe chest pain, head injuries, or trouble breathing. It’s the right choice when every second counts, and immediate, advanced care is required. If something feels serious or frightening, don’t wait—go straight to the ER or call 911.
Urgent Care: Timely Care You Can Count On
When you need quick, reliable care for seasonal respiratory illnesses like flu or COVID—or holiday mishaps like kitchen cuts and decorating dings—LCMC Health Urgent Care is the perfect fit. We treat patients as young as 3 months and offer walk-in care 7 days a week at 8 convenient locations across Greater New Orleans.
