We at Roswell Park know that you may need advice or care outside of the regular working day.
Our Assessment and Treatment Center (ATC) is a patient care service that supports our patients when they are sick with urgent, but not life-threatening symptoms. It is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and year-round, thanks to generous donations to the Roswell Park Alliance Foundation.
Please note: The ATC is not an emergency room and does not accept walk-ins. To be seen in the ATC, you must be referred by your Roswell Park physician or the physician-on-call.
If you are experiencing not life-threatening symptoms, call your Roswell Park clinic. If your clinic is closed, call Roswell Park at 716-845-2300 and a member of our Central Access Center will page the physician-on-call for your service The physician-on-call, based on your symptoms, will advise as to whether you should stay home, come to our Assessment and Treatment Center or go to the nearest emergency department. In the case of a life-threatening emergency, dial 911.
