Emergency Care

If you have a medical emergency, call 911 or go to the closest emergency department. See a list of Presbyterian emergency department locations below.

In the emergency department, we diagnose and treat illnesses and injuries that can be life-threatening and require immediate medical attention. Emergency medicine providers have special training to provide advanced life-saving care such as:

  • Surgical procedures

  • Trauma resuscitation (restart breathing and heart)

  • Advanced cardiac life support for problems such as heart attack

  • Advanced airway management to help you breathe

After treatment, you may need to be admitted to the hospital or you may be sent home and advised to seek follow up care with another provider.
