When to go to Paris Regional Emergency Center

For minor illnesses or injuries, our community has several primary care offices available.

Whether it’s a sore throat that won’t go away, a rising fever, a household cut, or a sprained ankle, we are here to care for you! Paris Regional Emergency Center is backed by the same healthcare providers and technologies available at Paris Regional Health. In the event that you may require a higher level of care available at Paris Regional Health our team will coordinate a smooth care transition to the hospital.

Freestanding emergency departments treat many injuries or illnesses that require immediate care. They are NOT intended for:
