Should I go to emergency or urgent care?

Choosing the best immediate care option can be confusing. Let’s go over some differences like hours of operation, treatment options, cost and more to help you with your decision.

Which immediate care clinic is right for me?

Located on NW 39th Avenue one mile east of I-75, the free-standing emergency department in the Springhill section of Northwest Gainesville is housed in a completely renovated 8,500-square-foot building, beautifully retrofitted to include all of the technology and diagnostic resources necessary for emergency care.

The new emergency center is fully equipped and staffed to provide the same level of emergency care provided in hospital-based emergency departments, and is open 24/7. The new facility is staffed entirely by board-certified UF Health emergency medicine physicians and nurses specially trained in emergency medicine.

UF Health Shands Emergency Center – Springhill has ten treatment spaces for patients and its own lab and diagnostic radiology services, including Xray, and CT imaging systems. Additionally, ShandsCair will keep an ambulance permanently stationed at the free-standing emergency room to transfer any patients requiring hospitalization.
