What's the difference between a freestanding ED and an Urgent Care Center?

Our capabilities are similar to those of a high-quality community
hospital emergency department. As is the case nationwide, most
patients who go to an emergency department are able to be
diagnosed, treated, and discharged home. For patients requiring
hospital admission, we diagnose, treat, stabilize, and then transfer
