In the Emergency Department

While everyone that comes to the Emergency Department is sick or in pain, we recognize that some patients’ conditions have the potential to be immediately life-threatening. These patients must be attended to first. Your understanding is appreciated if you notice that a patient is seen out of turn.

We know that having an emergency can be stressful. For this reason, our compassionate staff will keep you and your family informed about your condition throughout your stay.
