Emergency Department

The LMH Health Emergency Department is a Level 4 Trauma Center staffed with highly skilled physicians, nurses, medical assistants and social workers/case managers. We provide the emergency care you need, when you need it. We offer:

  • Convenient bedside registration
  • Advanced diagnostic and imaging technology
  • Stroke Intervention
  • Cardiac care

What to expect

When you arrive at the Emergency Medicine, a medical assistant will provide first aid if needed, take your vital signs and assist with triaging your case. From there, you will receive care from nurses and physicians who are specially trained in emergency medicine. Your care team will monitor you, order tests and treat your condition. Once you have received treatment, you may be released from the hospital, or if your condition warrants it, you may be admitted to the hospital.

Social Work and Case Management

In addition to physicians, nurses and medical assistants, our emergency department is home to dedicated social workers and case managers. They assist with the needs of special populations, complete mental health screenings, help in cases of child or elderly abuse, and arrange for transfers and placements.
