Our Goal Is Patient Satisfaction
We are totally committed to providing quality care and achieving the highest levels of patient satisfaction. To help us meet our goal of excellence, shortly after your visit to the Emergency Department, you may be contacted to participate in a patient survey. Your response to this survey is an important part of our continuous efforts to meet our commitment to you. It is our goal to be sure that you are always satisfied with the service we provide.
What To Expect While You Are Here
Upon arrival, a registered nurse will see you. This is the beginning of your medical treatment. The triage nurse will ask the reason for your visit, inquire about your medical history and perform a brief exam. Triage helps determine the severity of your condition and helps ensure the most urgent patients are seen by a physician first. Please keep in mind, someone who arrives after you may be taken into the treatment area before you, based on the severity of that patient’s condition.
