Fast Track Care Center
Sprained ankles, minor cuts or fevers all require prompt care. The Fast Track Care Centers at Sierra Medical, Providence Memorial and Sierra Providence East treat these patients alongside those suffering life-threatening emergencies.
Heart Care
The emergency staff has a protocol in place for patients having an acute myocardial infarction that is enacted as soon as a patient presents with symptoms. This instantly activates diagnostic and treatment modalities for heart patients, saving valuable time. This protocol helps ensure that patients get potentially lifesaving treatment such as angioplasty as quickly as possible.
Children’s ER at Providence
A view from Mars and a trip around the moon are just some of the sights that help ease the stress of an emergency room visit for a child at The Children’s Hospital at Providence. Our littlest patients deserve proper care and special treatment. The pediatric emergency room is staffed with emergency physicians, and is equipped with 11 treatment beds, three triage areas, two critical care rooms and well/sick waiting rooms.
