Call 911 if you or a loved one need life-saving care.

Health emergencies can happen anytime. When they do, you need immediate medical attention. At Baptist Health, we make emergency care quick and convenient. Our 11 hospital-based emergency rooms and three free-standing emergency departments throughout the community (with two more opening in 2025) are open 24/7. So, we can deliver complete care where and when you need it most.

We take a patient-centered approach to emergency care, focusing on your unique needs and well-being. With us, you can be confident you’ll receive the highest quality care available. Whether you have a minor injury or a life-threatening condition, our expertly trained, board-certified healthcare professionals use the most up-to-date, sophisticated treatments and equipment to treat your condition.

Common Conditions We Treat

Our emergency care physicians and nurses can treat a wide range of serious health problems. Some of the most common conditions we treat include:

  • Abdominal pain
  • Acute upper respiratory infection
  • Broken bones
  • Chest pain
  • Concussion
  • Dehydration
  • Head injuries
  • Heart attack
  • High fever
  • Kidney stones
  • Lacerations
  • Open wounds
  • Poisoning
  • Shortness of breath
  • Stroke symptoms

When to go to the Emergency Room

Seek immediate medical attention any time you or a loved one experience serious symptoms or a life-threatening health issue. Don’t hesitate to get emergency care if you’re unsure how serious the condition is. Always seek emergency care for these problems:

  • Chest pain or pressure
  • Difficulty breathing
  • Loss of consciousness
  • Severe bleeding or injury
  • Sudden, severe headache or vision changes
  • Weakness or numbness on one side of your body

What to Bring to the Emergency Room

Bring your driver’s license or other identification and your insurance card (if you have insurance) with you when you come to the emergency room. You should also bring any medications you’re currently taking and a list of your health conditions and allergies. A favorite comfort item, such as a blanket or hoodie, can also help you or a loved one feel more at ease while you wait for care. And, if you can, we recommend having someone who can offer additional support come with you.

What to Expect

Our emergency rooms are fast-paced environments that are designed to give you quick, effective care. When you arrive, our staff will greet you and ask questions about your condition and medical history. This process, called triage, helps us decide which patients need medical attention first.

If your condition is less urgent than other patients, you may be asked to sit in our waiting room. How long you wait will depend on the number of patients who have more serious health issues. Please understand that our doctors and nurses work as quickly and carefully as possible to ensure all patients get the best care.

We ask that you and your loved ones stay in the waiting area while you wait for care.

Receiving Emergency Care

During your time in the emergency room, you may need imaging or diagnostic lab tests like X-rays or CT scans to help our providers create a treatment plan that best fits your needs. Because we offer these services on-site, we get quick results to ensure you receive timely care.

Keep in mind that you may be asked to repeat your name and date of birth multiple times during your emergency care visit. This safety measure helps us confirm your identity, protect your private health information and keep your medical record accurate.
