Presenting an Emergency Department designed to move likes it’s an emergency.

The Winter Haven Hospital Emergency Department has expanded, and is now more efficient than ever before. We offer convenient, efficient medical treatment for minor or major emergencies and illnesses, ranging from lacerations, sports injuries and the flu to heart attack or stroke symptoms.

Some facts about the Emergency Department:

• 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 will continue to be critical—we use bar scanning for medicine delivery, so nurses scan a patient's wristband to ensure patient safety before giving any medication.
• Onsite diagnostic services–the emergency department has its own radiology suite made up of X-ray, ultrasound and CT scanning used to diagnose everything from broken bones to strokes.
• Bariatric Rooms – Two specially designed patient rooms can accommodate larger patients in a comfortable environment.
• Valet Parking – Our free valet parking service is available Monday through Friday, from 8am to 5pm.

Our goal is to provide accessible, compassionate, comprehensive, high-quality acute health care to patients of all ages. When every second counts you can count on our highly trained staff and physicians to provide your emergency care in a safe and comfortable environment. Whatever the need, we are here for you, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
