New appointment guidelines are in effect

Emergency Center
Our Emergency Center is staffed 24/7 with board-certified emergency medicine physicians. The Emergency Center is equipped to handle a wide range of emergency medical needs with your trust and comfort in mind. Should your care require the most specialized treatment, we have quick and coordinated air and ground transport to Regions Hospital Level I Trauma Center and Burn Center, or the hospital of your choice.
As a Level IV Trauma Center, our care goes beyond the walls of the hospital and includes active leadership and participation in community projects.
