Welcome to Emergency Department

When a medical emergency strikes you or a loved one, know that our team is standing by, ready to help. Our Emergency Department cares for our community’s most pressing needs, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We’re proud that the average wait to see a provider is less than 30 minutes, considering we treat more than 25,000 patients a year.

Our newly-renovated Emergency Department features:

Single-patient rooms for increased privacy

Increased treatment spaces from 14 to 20

Dedicated space for patients experiencing mental health issues or illness

Northwestern Medical Center is proud to offer a state-of-art facility within our community. With it’s opening on January 10, 2024, our new Emergency Department (ED) is larger by 2,400 square feet and features private rooms for all patients with a total of 20 treatment spaces. The new design also increases capacity for patients experiencing mental health issues, offering four dedicated rooms for those community members. Additionally, the new space will have better capacity to provide greater infection control measures in the ED.

Please look for updated signage directing patients and families to the correct entrance. Patient parking directly outside the space will be reopened.
