Where to go for FAST Medical Care
When you need to seek medical advice or treatment in a hurry, how do you determine where to go?? First call
your primary physicians office. It may be a long shot, and they may not be able to squeeze you in, but it is a
good place to start. At least they do know at that time, you have an issue going on. If they cannot see you,
you need to determine which is the best place to go given your current
situation.
Emergency Room: Best choice if situation is life threatening. Open
24/7.
Medical and surgical specialists are available. Necessary for chest pain,
signs of stroke, (facial drooping, limb weakness, loss of speech), head
trauma, severe bleeding, severe allergic reactions and loss of consciousness.
Urgent Care Center: Open on Weekends, and evenings; Appropriate for
minor cuts, flu, sinusitis, minor sprains and abrasions, sore throats etc.
Usually have one physician and/or nurse practitioner. Most have labs and
onsite x-ray machines.
Retail Clinics: Non life threatening ailments. These clinics treat colds,
flu, sinus issues, and urinary tract infections. They may also offer
vaccinations. They usually only treat adults. (CVS and Target are examples.)
Check list for a walk in clinic:
 Take a list of your current medications (Rx and over the counter).
 Confirm that you have a “bacterial infection” if the doctor wants to
prescribe an antibiotic
 Don’t feel pressured to get an Rx filled at the place of service. You can seek your own.
 If you have a doctor, make sure he or she gets a record of the visit. The nurse or physician should
ask who your provider is; send them a copy of your reports for your medical records.
***Prior to an illness or emergency, it is smart to call the urgent care and retail care center in your community,
so they can explain to you what they treat, and what they DO NOT treat. It is best you document this
information for your future use.

Volunteer Views
WOW! What an outpouring of wonderful people we
have in Wood County! Hearts have been opening and
many of you are helping out at several of the Wood
County Senior Center sites. In Bowling Green, we have
added Joe and Sharon McIntyre, Bev Meyer, and Mary
Hansen on HDM routes in trying to create a much
needed, new, in-town route. Perrysburg Area Senior
Center is losing a Home Delivered Meal volunteer, Ron
Stewart and we will need to fill his spot. Although we
have added Becky Lucas, Brittany Vanaman, and
Barbara Schwickrath to the HDM Volunteer roles in
North Baltimore, we are still shy of help at this location.
To those who have joined the ranks of “Awesome
Volunteers”, we extend many “thanks” for joining our
“family” to help aid the older adults in our County! I,
personally, am extremely proud of the many volunteers
who help this Agency with their mission of keeping
older adults in their homes for as long as possible.
However, we DO need volunteers at several

Friends of the Wood County Committee on
Aging are reminded that for many years the
Endowment Fund has been the recipient of gifts
to honor and memorialize friends and relatives.
Over the past several years, the generous gifts of
community organizations, families, and
individuals, augmented by money from the
Endowment Fund, were directed to the Kitchen
Project. That success of the project has assured
that the WCCOA will be able to continue to
provide congregate and home delivered meals to
a growing number of older adults in Wood
County. As in the past, WCCOA welcomes gifts
to the Endowment Fund to memorialize family
members and to honor people in the WCCOA
network of volunteers and professionals in the
Wood County Community.
