• A full-service Emergency Department capable of handling a broad range of critical and time-sensitive conditions.
• Access to consulting specialists when needed, including cardiology, neurology, pulmonology, and other key disciplines.
• State-of-the-art diagnostic and support services (labs, imaging, respiratory therapy, etc.) to quickly assess and treat emergencies.

You should come to the Emergency Department for serious or life-threatening issues, or when waiting for a non-emergency facility or clinic might risk worsening health. Common emergencies include:

• Chest pain or suspected heart attack
• Stroke symptoms (face drooping, speech changes, weakness)
• Severe breathing problems or respiratory distress
• Traumatic injuries (falls, car accidents, serious cuts or burns)
• Serious allergic reactions
• Overdoses, poisonings, or ingestion of harmful substances
• Sudden, severe pain or unexplained symptoms that are worsening rapidly

1. Arrival & Triage – You’ll be greeted by Emergency Department staff who will quickly assess your condition and assign priority. Patients with the most serious conditions are treated first.
2. Evaluation & Diagnostics – Doctors and nurses will collect your medical history, perform a physical exam, and order needed tests (labs, imaging, etc.). This helps establish what is wrong and how best to treat it.
3. Treatment Plan – Based on results, you’ll receive a plan of care. This may include: medication, procedures, stabilization, or possibly admission to the hospital.
4. Aftercare Instructions – If you are discharged, you’ll get information on home care, medication usage, follow-ups, and warning signs to watch for. If you don’t have a primary care provider, we’ll help refer you to one.
