But when the health of you or someone you love is at stake, don't hesitate.

Our AdventHealth Tampa emergency room treats many conditions, including:
- Complicated Fractures
- Deep Wounds
- Extreme Difficulty Breathing
- Major Head Injury
- Poisoning
- Severe Allergic Reactions

What to Expect When You Visit Our Emergency Room AdventHealth Tampa
After our medical team has treated your immediate needs, we’ll help you register. We know you’ll have a lot of questions, and we’ll answer them all as patiently and thoughtfully as we can.
It never hurts to be prepared, and you may want to consider carrying an information card in your wallet or purse in case you’re ever faced with a medical emergency. Helpful information includes the name of your primary care physician, a list of your medications and drug allergies, and any advance directives you might have (like power of attorney or health proxy).
Helping Your Child Heal in a Friendly ER Environment
In our dedicated children's emergency room, your child can receive timely, compassionate emergency room care in a kid-friendly space. Every patient will see one of our board-certified emergency physicians who are specialists in pediatric care.
To create a child-friendly emergency room, and to distract your little one from his or her worries, we’ve transformed our children's waiting room into the deck of a pirate ship — complete with panoramic ocean views and soaring seagulls. Each of our private, pediatric treatment rooms features dim, colorful lighting and playful wall projections that you or your child can control. We know a medical emergency can be frightening, and we’re committed to providing high-quality emergency room care in a comfortable, friendly environment.

Specialized OB Emergency Services
A health emergency during pregnancy requires a special level of care. That’s why we have an Obstetric Emergency Department (OBED) equipped to treat expectant moms and their babies. The OBED is an extension of our main emergency room and is staffed with experienced OB hospitalists who are specialists in obstetric medicine.
The OBED treats pregnancy- and postpartum-related concerns like abdominal pain, preterm labor, preeclampsia, abnormal vaginal bleeding, ruptured membranes, labor checks, bladder infections, decreased fetal movement and increased blood pressure. It offers pregnant women immediate access to a physician at all hours. We hope you and your baby never need emergency care — but find peace of mind knowing we’re ready around the clock.
