Emergency Care

We are Ready to Respond

Emergency medical care is critical for any community. We are proud to offer reliable, efficient, cutting-edge emergency services to individuals and families throughout our state. Not only are our emergency care facilities staffed by board-certified physicians and specially trained nurses, but we have established numerous innovative programs, treatments, and resources to assist with particular emergencies that require specialized care.

Our Emergency Services

The emergency center often serves as the first step in a patient’s long-term health needs. A serious medical event like a heart attack or head injury cannot be fully treated in one visit—the patient often requires a care plan that addresses extended medical needs. We continue to develop and provide comprehensive emergency services that act as the first stepping stone in the patient’s long-term medical treatment.

Our comprehensive emergency care services include:

  • FastTrack area for efficient treatment of minor injuries
  • Referral center for rape and sexual assault victims
  • On-site Crisis Center for psychiatric emergencies
  • Geriatric Emergency Department customized to accommodate older patients
  • Code Chill hypothermia treatment for cardiac arrest victims
  • Express Care for adults and children with minor injuries
  • Advanced cardiac life support systems recognized by the American Heart Association
  • Poison control services
  • Sexual assault and domestic violence support services
  • On-site emergency psychiatric screening services
  • Language services and interpretations
  • Child-friendly pediatric emergency department
  • Medical evaluations focused on detecting potential neglect or abuse
  • Comprehensive health evaluations for children (CHEC)
  • Mental health services for children
