                  Current average ER Wait Time
                  Open. Safe. Ready.

                  We are OPEN. SAFE. And READY.

                  If you need emergency care, get care. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 9-1-1.

                  Emergencies don’t wait. And you shouldn’t wait to seek care if an emergency strikes you or your family. Delaying care in an emergency can lead to worse outcomes and potentially serious complications later.

                  We are open and ready to safely care for you in an environment specifically designed to keep you safe.

                  Why Choose Us?

                  • Our 30-Minute Pledge means we will work diligently to have you initially seen by a medical professional within 30 minutes of your arrival.

                  • Plus specialists on staff in General Surgery and Intensive Care means we are here for you when you need us most.

                  Here are a few ways we have changed operations to protect the health of all patients:

                  • Staff and patients wear masks at all times.

                  • Clinical grade disinfection takes place hourly in affected areas.

                  • Staff members are screened at the beginning of every shift.

                  • Everyone seeking emergency care is screened upon arrival to help ensure the appropriate site of care, isolating those who require it.

                  • We offer separate areas for general ER patients and for those suspected of having COVID-19. Patients needing general care are NOT placed in the same area as those who are suspected of having the virus.

                  • Precautionary signs have been placed around the ER.

                  • Isolation rooms equipped with air filtration systems to effectively filter virus particles are available for those that require them.

                  • If a patient is suspected of COVID-19, they are provided with proper PPE.

                  • Patients coming in by ambulance are evaluated outside the ER, where the appropriate site of care is determined. If isolation is needed, those patients do not cross into general care areas.

                  If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911. If you need to go the emergency room, we’re ready for you 24/7.
