What to Know

Before You
Arrive

Call 911 for Life-Threatening Emergencies

If someone is experiencing chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe bleeding, stroke symptoms, or loss of consciousness, call 911 immediately. Paramedics can begin treatment en route.

Bring Your Insurance Card & ID

Having your insurance information and a photo ID speeds up registration. We accept most major insurance plans and will work with you on financial assistance if needed.

Understand the Triage Process

Patients are seen based on the severity of their condition, not the order they arrive. A less urgent visit may mean a longer wait — but every patient is treated promptly and with respect.

For Non-Emergencies, Consider Urgent Care

Minor illnesses, sprains, fevers, and mild injuries may be better suited to an urgent care clinic, where wait times are shorter. Save the ER for true emergencies.
