About

Off Southwestern Medical Avenue, the entrance to our state-of-the-art ER is easily accessible from the convenient circle drive. This is the main entry point for the ER to ensure we’re able to quickly and efficiently connect our patients to the care they need. Right when patients and families walk in the door, a team member will greet them at check-in and direct them where to go.
