I served and I saw that service is joy.”

Express Care
because you matter most
To better care for patients coming to its Emergency
Room, KershawHealth introduced Express Care in
September. Operating between 10:00 AM and 10:00
PM, Express Care is for patients with urgent but not
life-threatening conditions. Upon arrival at the
Emergency Room, patients will be quickly
evaluated to determine the severity of their
condition. Based on that evaluation, they will be
directed either to the Emergency Room or Express
Care for treatment.
