Valley Health's Emergency
Departments |
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.
Receiving the distinction of a Level II Trauma Center, WMC has
dedicated trauma surgeons on call 24/7, a surgical team and
suite dedicated solely to trauma, and a new helicopter service
available locally to expedite transport.
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.

attention. In an effort to provide more convenient and timely
care to patients with less complicated or acute emergencies, the
following options are available.
(Examples of minor emergencies, which make up approximately 40
percent of Emergency Department visits, include sprains,
scrapes, bumps and twists, flu symptoms, minor cuts and
fractures, rashes, and fevers.)
