Emergency Room Waiting Times

Written by Chris Drea

Patients needing emergency medical care are treated according to their degree of acuity or seriousness.

E.R. patients are not cared for in order of their arrival time. They are triaged, ensuring that patients most in need of critical care receive prompt medical attention.

Should a patient need to be transported from our facility, the hospital has access to emergency medical helicopter services via their helipad on the roof of the hospital.
