Emergency Medicine

If you require immediate medical attention, call 911.

In an emergency, seconds matter, and access to experienced healthcare-professionals and the latest medical technology can literally mean the difference between life and death.

Fortunately, the highest-quality emergency care is right here in the community. Insight’s Emergency Center is staffed around-the-clock by board-certified emergency medicine doctors and is equipped to handle the most serious medical emergencies. Insight is an accredited stroke center and chest pain center. Our state-of-the-art facility allows our providers to make fast and accurate diagnoses, and provide prompt treatment and life-saving care in a calm and compassionate setting. No matter what brings you or your loved one to the Emergency Center, Insight has the specialized services, experienced staff, and state-of-the-art equipment to handle the situation.

Insight’s state-of-the-art Emergency Center offers comprehensive emergency services in a spacious, private and compassionate setting. The Center features 25 private treatment suites, two nurses’ stations, spacious waiting areas, private triage areas, and a six-bay ambulance area with private entrance. One of the treatment suites is a “decontamination” room that can be used in the event of an emergency involving chemical exposure.

Beyond the Emergency Center

At Insight, we treat the whole person, and that means continuing to treat you beyond your emergent care. From offering assistance to locate a primary physician, coordinating outpatient services or follow-up care, or connecting with community resources, on-site patient advocates and social workers work to connect patients with care beyond that needed in the Emergency Room. Careful attention is given to educating the patient on their condition and any follow-up care that may be needed.
