Emergency room vs urgent care at UCSF Health Stanyan Hospital
Use emergency care for serious or life-threatening symptoms. Use urgent care or your provider’s office for many pressing but non-life-threatening issues.
| Situation | Best route | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Chest pain, trouble breathing, stroke signs, severe injury, fainting, severe bleeding, poisoning, severe allergic reaction, or sudden weakness | Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. | These symptoms may need immediate emergency evaluation, imaging, medication, monitoring, or procedure support. |
| Emergency Department Stanyan visit | Use the Stanyan Hospital campus at 450 Stanyan Street. | UCSF lists Emergency Department Stanyan as open 24 hours a day, every day of the year. |
| Pressing but non-life-threatening issue | Use UCSF urgent care, GoHealth affiliate urgent care, Screening & Acute Care, Bayfront Urgent Care, or your care team when appropriate. | Urgent care may be better for less severe symptoms that do not require an emergency department. |
| Your doctor sent you for testing or admission | Follow your physician’s instructions and confirm the exact department or admitting route. | A scheduled procedure, direct admission, lab, radiology, or surgical appointment may use a different arrival path than the ER. |
| You are unsure whether symptoms are dangerous | Choose emergency care when symptoms are severe, sudden, rapidly worsening, or potentially life-threatening. | It is safer to over-triage serious symptoms than delay emergency treatment. |
