If you’re admitted to the hospital for extra treatment, you’ll receive complete care and support until you’re healthy enough to go home.
Emergency care at PeaceHealth
Your health, safety and comfort are top priorities for us.
A space for kids makes wait time easier
Children who are waiting for treatment, or waiting for a family member to receive care, can pass the time in our playroom.
Care for the most dangerous type of heart attack
PeaceHealth emergency care centers are certified by the American Heart Association as a STEMI Receiving Center. This means we can rapidly diagnose and treat heart attacks caused by a blocked coronary artery.
Certified stroke care helps enhance outcomes
PeaceHealth hospitals have been named a Primary Stroke Center by the Joint Commission/Det Norske Veritas. This means we meet strict standards of care that improve our patients’ chances of surviving and recovering from stroke.
