Emergency Care
When
a family member becomes ill suddenly or gets injured,
you want prompt attention and quality medical care.
You can trust our Emergency Department to meet your
medical needs during any emergency. Although
we make every effort to treat your illness or injury
promptly after you arrive, we must give first priority
to the most seriously ill or injured.
Our qualified Emergency Department personnel
are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
The physicians in our Emergency Department are experienced and highly skilled in providing emergency care and all of our nurses have been trained in Advanced Cardiac Life Support and Pediatric Advanced Life Support/Emergency Nurse Pediatric Course. The majority of our nurses are trained in the Trauma Nurse Care curriculum.
The Emergency Department is always staffed with
one physician, and two physicians are available
from noon to midnight every day.
After you are admitted to our Emergency Department,
the same nurse will be responsible for your care
until you are discharged.
To improve efficiency, the Emergency
Department has developed three specialized treatment
areas as follows:
-
Fast Track for patients with
minor illnesses or injuries.
-
Intermediate area features
specialized rooms when you or your loved one experiences
an illness or injury that is urgent but not life-threatening.
- Critical Care area for patients experiencing a
cardiac or traumatic emergency is equipped with state-of-the-art
continuous computerized cardiac monitoring directly
across from the main nursing area.
