We’re here for you when you or a loved one experiences a health emergency. We provide efficient trauma care in a supportive and safe environment. That’s community and why so many people Trust Methodist.

Why Choose Methodist Health for Emergency Care

We’re prepared to handle the full spectrum of emergencies. This includes heart attack and other cardiac events, stomach pain, severe and sudden headaches, and other medical emergencies. Our emergency departments are known for:

  • Efficient triage: From the moment you arrive, we focus on streamlining the process of getting you to a doctor. This allows us to provide timely care and reduce your wait times.
  • On-site diagnostic capabilities: We use advanced diagnostic tools to diagnose health conditions. With radiology services in the emergency department, we have quick access to digital X-rays, MRI scans, and CT imaging.
  • Collaborative care: Doctors, nurses, and surgeons work as a team to efficiently stabilize, diagnose, and treat your condition. This helps us provide high-quality care in critical moments.

Trauma Care You Can Rely On

We prioritize rapid diagnosis of life-threatening symptoms. When you arrive at one of our emergency departments, you’ll meet with a triage nurse as soon as possible.

We use blood tests, urinalysis, and imaging tests including CT and MRI to assess your condition and determine the best course of action. If needed, we transfer you to the intensive care unit (ICU) where you’ll receive care from a specialized team.

When Should You Go to the Emergency Room?

If you or someone you know is experiencing life-threatening symptoms, call 911 or head to the nearest emergency room. If your symptoms are severe, don’t drive yourself. Doing so could put you and others in danger of an accident.

Seek emergency care if you experience:

  • A severe allergic reaction
  • Bleeding that doesn’t stop with direct pressure
  • Chest pain or pressure on the chest that lasts for more than 2 minutes
  • Confusion or trouble speaking
  • Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
  • Seizures
  • Traumatic injury such as a broken bone, dislocation, or a lesion that may require stitches
