Warren
Memorial Emergency Department
-
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.
