Why Choose Rivers Health for Emergency Care
Our emergency physicians and nurses have been trained and certified in trauma care and can provide advanced trauma life support when patients must be transferred to a higher-level trauma center. At nearly 12,000 square feet—more than twice the size of the previous Emergency Department—the new space features 11 private emergency treatment rooms, including a dedicated pediatric room, as well as two private trauma rooms, two psychiatric rooms, two decontamination suites, express treatment rooms and a dedicated ambulance bay. Designed around the needs of patients and families, the expanded department provides greater privacy and comfort while improving patient flow and efficiency for care teams.
