Nurse Advice Line
Callers with life-threatening symptoms should call 911 or visit the nearest emergency room immediately.
Do you have a health issue, concern, or question outside of normal clinic hours?
If you are having a health issue you do not know how to handle outside of normal clinic hours, simply call your SEARHC clinic or dial the toll-free number 1.800.613.0560.
Your calls will be answered by nonlocal medical service representatives and registered triage nurses who will:
- Provide a timely response to your questions
- Determine whether your health issue requires a call to your provider and if so, will contact your SEARHC provider
- Give you tips to care for the problem yourself if home care is appropriate
- Connect you with emergency services if necessary
- Answer general health questions
- Forward a message to your local clinic after hours
SEARHC’s free After-Hours Nurse Advice Line is not a substitute for medical attention. The registered nurses cannot provide diagnoses or treatment but can provide advice for something as simple as what over-the-counter remedy is appropriate for a cold symptom, to something as complex as explaining a new medication.
It is important to note, if you have an emergency medical condition, please call 911 or your local emergency medical services number.
