What to Expect at the Emergency Department

We care for all patients who come to the emergency department.

When you arrive at triage, a nurse will examine you, review your symptoms, and ask about your medical history. We will ask for your name, date of birth, contact information and the name of your primary care provider. Patients with the most serious injuries or illnesses are seen first. The length of your visit depends on your condition and tests needed.

If your symptoms are not severe, you may choose to visit the Urgent Care instead.
