Right Care, Right Now

The District is dedicated to ensuring that when it comes to your health, you receive the Right Care, Right Now. DC Fire and Emergency Medical Services (DC FEMS) is rolling out this initiative with the goal to improve health outcomes and preserve resources for patients with life threatening injuries and illnesses. Text: DC RIGHTCARE to: 468311

After the launch of the Right Care, Right Now program, callers to 911 with non-emergency injuries or illnesses may be transferred to a nurse. The nurse will ask the caller questions and assess his or her symptoms so that the nurse can refer the caller to the most appropriate non-emergency medical care available, most likely a community clinic or urgent care clinic in the caller’s neighborhood.  Medicaid and DC Healthcare Alliance enrollees will be provided with free transportation to and from the clinic.
