    What to Expect in Our ER

    You will be cared for by staff trained to respond to any type of medical emergency. We understand a visit to the ER can be a very stressful time; therefore, you should expect us to communicate with you and guide you through your situation. Please ask questions about anything you do not understand. 

    Patients in the ER are treated according to the severity of their illnesses. 

     
     

    Patient Safety & Quality Care

    Our goal is to provide the best care available in the safest possible environment. To make that happen, we:

    • Integrate a bedside registration process so treatment is not delayed
    • Offer point-of-care (bedside) lab testing, which makes the results of many common tests available in minutes, not hours
    • Provide detailed monitoring of critically ill patients
    • Use well-lit rooms that are positioned so critical changes in a patient’s condition are easily assessed, which allows us to respond quickly
    • Utilize a computerized system that keeps critical medications and supplies readily available
