Dependable medical professionals providing efficient, life saving treatment
Upon your arrival to the emergency room, one of our highly skilled nurses will assess your medical condition. This initial assessment is crucial, and provides our medical team with the information they need to better understand and treat your medical condition.
Please note: Due to the nature of emergencies, people with a life-threatening illness or injury must be treated first, even if you arrived before them. As a result, you may experience a wait before seeing an emergency room nurse or physician.
