Optimum Care for All

What to expect at the Emergency Room?

We strive to provide compassion, empathy, and support for our patients and their families.

Upon arrival at the emergency room, you must pass through a security scan to ensure all our patients and families work together to maintain a safe environment. At the registration desk, our registrars will ask for your personal information and the reason for your visit. Once we call your name, you will also go through triage.

Approximately 27,500 patients visit our Emergency Department annually, and our goal is to deliver optimum care for all. We strive to provide compassion, empathy, and support for our patients and their families. Our team includes Physicians, Nurse Practitioners, Physician Assistants, Registered Nurses, Patient Care Assistants, and Unit Secretaries. Our nurses have advanced training in cardiac, pediatric, and trauma care; most have advanced training in neonatal care. Although this is a diverse team, they remain "In the Community. For the Community."

IMPROVED ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE. The Emergency Room (ER) is often called the "front door" to any hospital. The ER renovation project has added space and improved access and comfort when patients need it most.
