For Emergency Care, Seconds Can Count

When a serious health emergency or injury occurs, seconds can matter.

From the moment you enter our doors, our dedicated staff of ER physicians and medical professionals make it their mission to provide quality, compassionate care. Your safety is our highest priority.

Our ER carries out a quick and effective triage, and emergent assessment for every patient who comes through our doors.

When you arrive, you will be seen by a triage nurse who will evaluate your condition and place you in a priority queue based on the severity of your symptoms. Depending on your condition, you may be sent to the ER to be seen by an emergency physician or asked to wait until an exam is available.

This order may change as new patients with more severe symptoms arrive at the emergency room. If your condition changes while you wait, please let the nurse knows.

After being seen by an ER physician, you will either be sent home with instructions or referred to consulting doctor or specialist who will decide if you should be admitted to the hospital.

In case you are not required to be admitted to the hospital, but need further follow-up, our ER physician will arrange outpatient clinic at our hospital for you.
