Valley Health
offers emergency care at Shenandoah Memorial Hospital, Warren Memorial
Hospital and Winchester Medical Center. All Emergency Department’s are
staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with physicians and nurses
trained in emergency care.
An emergency
department should be used when a sudden or severe condition requires
immediate medical attention, when one is unable to reach a personal
physician, or is instructed to go to the emergency department by a
physician. When a patient arrives in the emergency department, a
triage nurse will quickly evaluate the patient’s condition. The number
of patients in the emergency department and the severity of their
conditions will determine the order in which they are seen. Patients
with the most serious problems are seen first.
Things to
remember
-
In
an emergency department, it is extremely important that the most
acutely ill and injured are seen first.
-
The emergency
department requires space to operate and for the staff to perform
their duties. Therefore, the number of visitors in the treatment
area must be kept to as few as possible.
-
Every effort is
made to provide prompt care. Valley Health’s Emergency Department’s
are staffed 24 hours a day by a team of nurses, physicians and staff
who perform laboratory work and x-rays. Good health is the primary
concern.
-
If conditions
change, or family members have questions or concerns while in the
waiting area, the triage nurse or registration staff should be
notified.
