What to expect in the emergency room

Upon arrival, you will be assessed as soon as possible by triage staff to determine the level of care you need. We assess every patient who enters our emergency room doors. If your assessment indicates a condition that may be critical, you will be seen immediately. While we recognize that every person’s reason for visiting the emergency room is important and we make every attempt to keep wait times as short as possible, please be advised that critically ill or injured patients will receive priority treatment regardless of their arrival time. We appreciate your patience as we strive to provide the highest quality of care to all patients as quickly as possible.
