We’re always here for you.
Our Emergency Department staff is specialty trained with dedicated emergency medicine doctors, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and registered nurses with extensive clinical experience and emergency medical certifications. This team is complimented by numerous specialists (in over 45 different medical specialties) who are on call to consult with patients and determine the best course of action, whether that is surgery, admission to hospital, additional testing and more. Along with specialized staff, the Samaritan Emergency Department is well-equipped with advanced technology, 42 private rooms, a dedicated mental health services area, on-site radiology services, such as CT, ultrasound and MRI, and more. We also offer TV service in our patient rooms, as well as free WiFi for all of our visitors.
We know that your time is valuable, and that waiting while you’re uncomfortable is never ideal. To make your visit as efficient as possible, we have implemented a new system that allows our staff to provide the most expedited care for all emergency visits. When you arrive, the staff will evaluate you and determine the level of care you need. This process will greatly decrease visit time for visitors that do not need to be admitted to the hospital.
