Kaiser Permanente, 5 health systems send urgent message to "Get Care When You Need It"

[1]
Kaiser Permanente Southern California is one of six of Los Angeles County’s largest nonprofit health systems united in a mission to encourage community members to put health first and access care when needed. The “BetterTogether.Health” educational campaign sends the message that “Life is on pause. Your health isn’t” and urges viewers to “Get care when you need it.” Delaying medical assistance and advice can result in serious and avoidable health consequences.
Getting to a hospital quickly for heart attacks, strokes, and serious illnesses or accidents is critical and saves lives. Those exhibiting serious symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, numbness in one side of the body or severe headache should seek medical attention immediately. Additionally, scheduled vaccinations for children are important to help ensure everyone is protected from infectious diseases. The six health systems have joined to let people know they are open and ready to serve the health of the communities they serve.  Watch the public service message in English [2] or Spanish [3], and get more info at LA.BetterTogether.health [4].
