What to Expect at the Emergency Room

Patients or a close family member must register with an admissions clerk located inside the ER entrance. Patients will be triaged to assess the level of their injury. Once registered, patients are moved into examination rooms dependent upon the patient’s urgency status and emergency department activity.
