Mercy's Emergency
Care Unit is ready 24 hours a day to handle emergencies large and
small.
The unit is
staffed by physicians and RNs and is recognized as a Level III trauma
unit.
For a heart
attack patient, the emergency unit may be the first stop in a continuum
of care. The good news is that Mercy's heart care is second to none,
and it begins in the emergency unit. When patients arrive with chest
pain, the staff is able to move them to the heart
center for treatment faster than the national average.*
Family members
are kept informed every step of the way. And if family members travel
from out of town to see a loved one, they may want to stay close
by in Guest Lodging.
If you would
like a nurse to help you make an appointment with a Mercy doctor,
call Mercy On Call
at 358-2767 or 800-358-2767, or visit our physician
directory.
