Full Service:
On-site laboratory, radiology department, computerized video cardiac monitoring system and birthing room are available within our facility to help ensure that you receive a continuum of medical care, we have the support of our full-service medical center ready to address your needs.
Priority of Care:
Through our medical screening program, every patient is initially evaluated so we may determine the severity of your condition. While every effort is made to see each patient quickly, priority is given to those people whose lives or future health and well-being are immediately at stake. Often you may not see these patients arrive, since the abulance entrance is located in another area of the ER. Your patience and understanding is appreciated.
Visiting Guidelines
Each patient is allowed one visitor. Due to special situations in an ER setting, family members may be asked to remain in the waiting area, or the number of visitors may be limited. Visitors in the patient care area are asked to remain at the patient's bedside. Our staff will make every effort to keep family members and friends informed of your condition and treatment.
