The Emergency Department - How It Works

Visiting the hospital emergency department can be a stressfull experience at best. The emergency department is often busy, the patients there are usually very sick or may be injured and it's easy to become frustrated when things don't move as fast as we think they should. We've put together a short video to help explain what you should expect when you visit our emergency department and how we do things to give each patient the care and attention they deserve and expect. Hopefully, the video will answer most of your questions and will help you understand what is going on behind the scenes while you are in the emergency department.
