U.S. Emergency Rooms in Crisis ER Urgent Care Centers to the Rescue

America's Emergency Room crisis has reached epidemic proportions. In a recent report published by the Institute of Medicine it has become apparent that the crisis is far greater than first estimated.

With a population growth of 12% emergency rooms are experiencing 27 percent increase in visits, from 90 million to 114 million. What is worse 425 emergency rooms nationwide have closed, 700 hospitals have closed and 200,000 beds are no more. In addition 50% of all hospitals are losing money. Wait times in some major cities are as high as nine hours. The report also suggested that 22% of accident victim deaths in the emergency rooms were preventable. ER Urgent Care Center is now poised with its national exposure growing to help in the easing of this crisis. With no immediate solution to the problem ER Urgent Care Center is sitting with numerous municipalities and major hospital organizations as part of a think tank to alleviate the problem. Jerry Miller, Founder and Director, said, "We are honored to have been selected to be part of this elite group of organizations within the health industry. Once again ER Urgent Care Center is setting the trend in health care."
