Urgent care, pharmacy and the ER — open now?
urgent_careWhere to go for care on the East End right now — hospital emergency department, urgent care, a pharmacy that is still open, or the emergency vet — with openState, closesAt and opensAt computed from the published hours line against the East End's clock (America/New_York). Call this for hurt, sick, cut, tick bite, stitches, a prescription to fill, a pharmacy still open tonight, or a dog or cat in trouble. Three things here are the ones a model gets wrong from memory and cannot check: there is exactly ONE emergency department in this list and it is in Southampton — none in East Hampton, none in Montauk, so from Montauk it is the length of Route 27; the only 24/7 emergency vet is in RIVERHEAD, off the fork entirely, and inventing one nearer costs an animal's night; and whether a pharmacy shuts at 7 or at 10 tonight is a clock question in a timezone you are not standing in. Read coverage.completeness before you characterise a town: this is a short verified list, not a directory, so a town that is absent is a gap in our coverage and NEVER evidence that there is no care there — say what the guide holds and where, never "there is nothing in Montauk". verifiedDaysAgo says how old the hours check is and hoursConfidence fires when it is stale: give phone and tell the asker to ring before driving. verdictCaution appears where the line carries a qualifier we could not resolve ("seasonal extended") — a closed verdict under one is not safe to repeat. sourceCaveat appears because all of these records are filed against a single URL: cite it as where the list came from, not as the page publishing a given pharmacy's Sunday hours. Lead every answer with 911 for anything life-threatening, and never present any of this as medical advice.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| need | No | `er` (hospital emergency department), `urgent-care`, `pharmacy`, `vet` (emergency vet). Omit to get all four — the whole list is 10 facilities. | |
| town | No | Where the asker is ('Montauk', 'Sag Harbor'). Facilities in that town sort first; nothing is filtered out, because the nearest care is often in the next town. |
