Take a Tour of the Emergency Department

Some facts about the Emergency Room:

  • Each room is private with real doors—this blocks out the usual noise and hubbub of a busy ER and gives our patients the privacy and quiet they need.
  • All rooms are state-of-the-art—we use the most advanced electronic monitoring for all of our patients. Further, the entire hospital uses Electronic Medical Records (EMR), which means our clinicians can quickly obtain important information that our health care delivery is more efficient and timely.
  • Patients safety is critical—we use bar scanning for medicine delivery, so nurses scan a patient's wristband to ensure patient safety before giving any medication.

Pediatric Patients

We care for pediatric patients; but, if necessary, we can arrange for transfer to St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital. Our doctors often consult with pediatric specialists at St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital before deciding how to treat our pediatric patients.

We are capable of managing any emergency. If necessary, we can arrange for expedited transport of patients to one of our sister hospitals with specialized expertise using our helicopter or ambulance service. We can also arrange for a transfer to our intensive care unit.
