Urgent care – or emergency care? Both sound super serious if you ask me, so it’ll be in your interest to get to the right place for help, asap.
A Florida-based healthcare service knows that and has provided convenient and amusing roadside billboards for people’s information so that their emergency rooms do not get clogged up with people seeking treatment for bee stings.
BayCare describes itself as a “leading not-for-profit health care system that connects individuals and families to a wide range of services at 15 hospitals and hundreds of other convenient locations throughout the Tampa Bay and central Florida regions.”
Like any other medical service, they recommend you visit your primary care provider for an acute illness or injury that isn’t life-threatening. Which I guess means your doctor. But what if it is the weekend, after hours or you can’t wait for an appointment?
People were not entirely sure who to call.
With simple graphics and a touch of humor, they’ve succeeded in doing just that! The signs have gotten a positive reaction, and people are talking about them, which is, of course, the whole point.
