Sometimes your activities do not have the outcome you anticipated. Like, not seeing that rock on your mountain bike ride, missing that step down on your hike or grabbing that piece of firewood you thought had cooled. We’re human, right, and being human means sometimes we do things that require medical care when we least expect it.
Centura takes the worry out of getting the help you need when the unexpected happens by combining emergency room and urgent care into one location. But remember, if your condition is life-threatening, call 911 immediately.
We are where you are
Centura's Emergency & Urgent Care Centers are strategically placed across metro Denver and Summit County to care for our communities. Our hybrid centers take the guesswork out of deciding what type of care you need and leaves that decision in the hands of our board-certified health care experts.
Come in & we will take care of the rest
When you arrive at one of our locations, you’ll receive an immediate evaluation by one of our board-certified emergency care providers to determine the right level of care for you. You will only pay for the level of care you received – urgent or emergency care.
