It’s easy to find the nearest restaurant, hotel, coffee shop or bank at the push of a button with today’s technology. But what about the nearest medical care? When it comes to urgent care, time is of the essence ~ and having the right information is crucial. That’s why renowned Southern Florida physician Dr. Bruce W. Moskowitz, M.D., P.L. developed the Emergency Medical Center Locator (EMCL) iPhone app, a free, public service app that helps you find the specialized emergency medical center closest to you ~ no matter where you are in the world (Think about vacationing and knowing that you have this potentially lifesaving information literally at your fingertips ~ or being able to finally try hang gliding with the extra piece of mind ~ or knowing that wherever you are with your new bundle of joy, you can find pediatric care in mere seconds). Featuring only the most advanced, state-of-the-art emergency care facilities with proven track records of stellar care, the app directs you to the closest medical center in one of six specialty areas, proving accurate, reliable information that can literally make the difference between life and death for you, your child, your parents and your grandparents. 
“…the data available confirms what any doctor can tell you: A rapid response is essential in the case of any medical trauma,” explains Dr. Moskowitz. “I developed this app to provide instant access to life-saving information internationally. Whether you’re in your hometown or halfway around the world, you can find the closest quality care at a moment’s notice. By going to the right facility first, you can avoid wasting precious time and increase your chances of recovery significantly.”
When emergency rooms are equidistant, choosing the center with certification or advanced expertise to handle the specific problem is essential. The EMCL app offers recommendations in six specialty areas that tend to require immediate care ~ Trauma, Stroke, Eye, Pediatric, Cardiac and Burn ~ directing users to the medical center with the most advanced facilities and best patient outcomes in the given specialty. Instant, accurate, and potentially life-saving, the app is an essential for every iPhone owner.
