The Emergency Department (ED) is a comprehensive unit equipped to provide patient-centered care to a population ranging from newborn to geriatric. This 38-bed ED is segmented into specialized areas to efficiently manage various patient needs, including a section with 30 beds, composed of 25 exam rooms and 5 critical care rooms, and another section with eight beds designated for behavioral health and Fast Track patients. Additionally, a 7 chair Turbo Track area caters to level 4-5 patients.
