Patients who have a critical or life-threatening illness or injury are treated immediately. Others are screened and put in one of several areas:
Main Emergency Department
For patients of all ages who have a variety of illness and/or injuries. Most patients are seen here.
Critical Care Area
For patients who require immediate attention due to a limb or life-threatening illness or injury.
Behavioral Health Area
For patients seeking care for mental health, alcohol or drug problems.
Coronavirus/COVID-19
All patients are screened for COVID-19 symptoms. Patients who are suspected of having the coronavirus are cared for in special areas of the ER to separate them from other patients.
