Preparing for your Emergency Visit

Whenever possible it is a good idea to bring a friend or family member with you to the ER.

We recommend that you keep the following items in a convenient place so that you may grab them quickly when leaving your home.

  • A list of your medications, allergies and health problems
  • Names of your personal physicians.
  • Emergency contact information.
  • Health plan information.
  • Driver’s license or other valid identification.
  • Advanced health care directives.

In the Emergency Department

While everyone that comes to the Emergency Department is sick or in pain, we recognize that some patients’ problems have the potential to be immediately life threatening. These patients must be attended to first. Your understanding is appreciated if you notice that a patient is seen out of turn.

We know that having an emergency can be stressful. For this reason, our compassionate staff will keep you and your family informed about your condition throughout your stay.

After your Emergency Visit

Need follow-up care after an Emergency Department visit? Call our physician referral line at 1-800-798-5143. A specialist will assist you in finding a provider to meet your needs.

Our Commitment To You

Excellent care delivered with compassion
Every Person – Every Encounter – Every Time
If you have concerns about your stay please call (360) 956-3534

Stroke patients need care FAST. See the signs? Call 911.

A stroke is a brain attack, caused when an artery in the brain is blocked or bursts – and part of the brain starts to die. Fast treatment is crucial for a better chance at survival with less disability. If you see one or more signs of stroke, act FAST and call 911 immediately.

F: Does their face droop on one side?

A: Do they have trouble raising one or both arms?

S: Do they have trouble speaking?

T: It’s time to call 911.

Overcome the urge to “wait and see” – call 911 to get the care they need.
What a great way to say, “I love you.”
