Having a medical emergency? Call 911.
Chest pain, stroke symptoms, trouble breathing, severe bleeding, a major head injury, or a bone through the skin all need an emergency room. Do not drive yourself. Emergency rooms are required by federal law to examine and stabilize you regardless of your ability to pay.
Southern Caldwell County — Granite Falls, Sawmills, Rhodhiss — has a long manufacturing history and an active industrial base today. For employers there, the nearest occupational health options are typically in Lenoir or Hickory, and we’re the closer of the two.
