Count on Our Expanded ER to Better Care for You

We believe health is measured in terms of the whole you — body, mind and spirit — and it’s our promise to help you feel whole through world-class emergency care. That’s why we recently renovated our ER, adding nearly 4,000 square feet of new ER space to include:

  • Dedicated behavioral health rooms in a secure area inside the emergency department
  • Fast-track rooms for patients with non-life-threatening conditions
  • Disposition space where patients wait in privacy with comfortable chairs to receive lab, imaging or other tests and results
  • Expanded lobby and triage area to allow simultaneous registration and assessment, significantly reducing wait times
  • Enhanced security presence to help you feel safe

This expansion helps our team deliver the best and quickest care to our patients, with an average door-to-triage wait time of 30 minutes or less.
