If you’re experiencing: ■ Chest pains ■ Slurred speech or confusion ■ Weakness or numbness on one side ■ Trouble breathing ■ Eye or head injury ■ Vaginal bleeding with pregnancy ■ Seizure ■ Broken bone or dislocated joint ■ Severe cut or pain ■ Other unusual symptoms Seek help immediately. During the COVID-19 pandemic, individuals with health emergencies are staying away from ERs from fear of being infected. Rest assured, Saint Peter’s University Hospital’s ER has separate treatment areas and teams to care for people with positive or suspected COVID-19. Don’t be afraid to come to the ER if you need help. Because we’re here for you no matter the emergency. Sponsored by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Metuchen
