Highlights of the Methodist Dallas Emergency Department

At Methodist Dallas, our team is committed to providing you with the most advanced emergency care. Our updated ED features updated equipment and technology.

When you visit us, you’ll find:

Spacious facilities: We designed our emergency department with more space to easily accommodate more hospital staff, patients, and families. Patient rooms are configured to allow for better staff coverage and collaboration.

Innovative technology: Our facility features a dedicated CT room, two radiology rooms, and portable digital X-ray equipment that we bring directly to the bedside.

Enhanced patient safety: Both the intensive care and critical care units have low nurse-to-patient ratios, allowing nurses to devote more energy to their patients. The ED waiting room and trauma area both have negative air pressurization to limit the spread of airborne illnesses. Our infection control practices surpass industry standards.

Focus on comfort: Our private patient rooms are filled with mood-boosting natural light to promote healing. Glass partitions throughout the units help minimize sound for patients who are resting while still allowing clinical staff to monitor patients.

G60 – Geriatric Trauma Program

At Methodist Dallas Medical Center, we’re committed to addressing the unique emergency care needs of our older patients. That’s why we developed G60, our Geriatric Trauma Program.

Older adults are often at greater risk for additional injuries or falls while in the hospital. The G60 program provides older patients with tailored care that includes:

Compassionate staff members who are specially trained to meet the needs of patients over age 60

Slip-resistant floors
Beds that are lower to the ground for safety
Decreased noise and activity levels
Reduced exposure to infectious diseases

Compassionate Care for Victims of Sexual Assault

We understand that this is a traumatic time. Through our Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners (SANE) Program, we offer discreet care and support to adolescents and adults who have been victims of sexual assault.

Our certified sexual assault nurse examiners are knowledgeable and compassionate. They have received advanced education and specialized instruction in medical forensic examination and in psychological and emotional trauma.
