How We Work
We treat over 14,000 patients every year in our Emergency Department. Our Level III designation means we have the expertise to promptly assess patients, resuscitate them, do trauma surgery, and provide intensive care.

Our Emergency Department team has the expertise, knowledge, and technology to provide:
- Prompt assessment

- Stabilization of injured patients
- Treatment and care of sports-related injuries with expertise in ski injuries, splinting and casting
- Emergency procedures and trauma surgery

The teamwork in the ED is like an orchestra with each person an expert at playing their instrument.
