Features of Our Emergency Center

Our Emergency Center has easy access to radiology, laboratory and state-of-the-art operating rooms. The treatment rooms feature the latest technology and each patient's progress is tracked by a computerized system.

Upon arrival, patients are assessed by a triage nurse. Each patient is asked questions about his or her visit to the Emergency Center, their current medications, allergies and past medical problems, or any surgeries. Vital signs are then taken. Information obtained during this process allows the triage nurse to determine the patient's priority of care.

Our Emergency Center has 34 treatment rooms to ensure a more private environment and to comply with HIPAA laws. Our modern nurses' station allows for closer monitoring of patients while also allowing room for a centralized area for communication and equipment.

Critical patients are seen first in the Emergency Center. The number of ambulances arriving directly into the treatment area and the condition of these patients can affect the number of beds available in the treatment area as well as the time taken by the physicians and nurses to care for these patients.
