What to Expect When You Visit Our AdventHealth ERs

When you need us most, your local AdventHealth emergency room is ready to react with urgency, treat with expertise and comfort with compassion. We know that when you get to one of our ERs, you'll have lots of questions. Our compassionate and experienced emergency room team will answer each one thoughtfully and patiently.

How We Triage

Prioritization, through a process known as triage, makes all the difference for patients in critical condition. Sometimes, this means earlier treatment for a later-arriving patient. We strive to make our ER wait times as short as possible so that you can find relief from your stress and pain. We might see a person who’s experiencing a suspected heart attack or stroke as soon as they get here so they can get the immediate specialized care they need.

Info to Keep With You

To help keep your stress levels low and expedite treatment, you may want to consider always keeping an information card on you. It should include the name and number of your primary care provider, a list of your medications and drug allergies and any advance directives, like powers of attorney or health care proxy.
