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

Our state-of-art emergency facility opened in 2024, 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 space has strong capacity to provide robust infection control measures in the Emergency Department.
