Navarre, in Santa Rosa County, Florida, has three freestanding emergency rooms that list 24/7 care: Baptist Emergency Room & Urgent Care – Navarre, HCA Florida Navarre Emergency and Ascension Sacred Heart Emergency Care – Navarre. For non-emergency care, the Baptist site on Navarre Parkway also takes urgent care walk-ins, and Ascension Sacred Heart Urgent Care – Tiger Point in Gulf Breeze is open seven days a week. Hours below were last verified on Oct. 27, 2026; call ahead before you go.

When to go to the ER and when urgent care is enough

MedlinePlus, the health information service of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), says to go to the emergency room or call 911 for problems like these:

  • Choking, or breathing that has stopped
  • A head injury with fainting or confusion
  • Severe chest pain or shortness of breath
  • A seizure that lasts more than one minute
  • Sudden weakness, or trouble speaking or seeing
  • Heavy bleeding
  • A severe allergic reaction
  • Poisoning or an overdose

The same MedlinePlus guide lists problems that urgent care can usually handle: colds, flu, earaches, sore throats, low fevers, limited rashes, sprains, minor cuts and burns, and minor broken bones. MedlinePlus has a separate version of the guide for children.

This is general guidance from MedlinePlus, not medical advice. If you are not sure how serious a problem is, call 911 or your doctor.
