When Emergencies Happen…Every
Minute Counts!
 We
know that no one likes to think about emergencies, but sometimes
it is a good idea to have a plan. Where should you go when seconds
are vitally important? We believe our Emergency Services
are unique and designed to maximize those precious seconds.
Since 1998, we have been Mercer County’s Heart
Hospital with state of the art imaging
and heart surgery. Our
Heart Hospital
team of certified physicians and nurses are accustomed to responding
quickly and accurately to patients with life threatening cardiac problems.
Another state-of-the-art program that distinguishes from all other
Emergency Departments is our life saving stroke
team. The most recent statistics regarding strokes indicate that life
saving treatment must start within minutes of the first symptoms.
Our specialists respond to start treatment quickly to maximize survival
and quality of life for our patients.
- A “No Waiting” Policy. Patients who
arrive at our Emergency Entrance requiring emergency care, receive
prompt attention and triage by an experience triage nurse, then are
moved immediately into the main ED for care.
- We believe registration for emergencies should be done at the bedside,
and have made that a convenience and a priority.
- Our experienced Emergency physicians are ready 24 hours a day/
7 days a week to meet your needs.
- Our Magnet nursing staff is certified in Advanced Life Support
and Pediatric Advanced Life Support.
- Each of our 14 Emergency beds has cardiac monitoring capability.
- Radiology Services including x-ray,
CT scan, MR,
PET Scan and Ultra Sound are located
in close proximity to the Emergency Department for speed of service
and patient convenience.
- For minor injuries and illnesses requiring urgent care, our “Fast
Track” program provides quick attention by a specially
trained Nurse Practitioner.
- Support Services such as Pastoral Care, Physical
Therapy, and EKG.
- On-line Connections to the National Poison Control Center.
- Individualized information regarding your diagnosis and instructions
for aftercare upon discharge.
