Valley Health offers emergency care at Shenandoah Memorial Hospital, Warren Memorial Hospital and Winchester Medical Center. All Emergency Department’s are staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with physicians and nurses trained in emergency care. Receiving the distinction of a Level II Trauma Center, WMC has dedicated trauma surgeons on call 24/7, a surgical team and suite dedicated solely to trauma, and a new helicopter service available locally to expedite transport.

An emergency department should be used when a sudden or severe condition requires immediate medical attention, when one is unable to reach a personal physician, or is instructed to go to the emergency department by a physician. When a patient arrives in the emergency department, a triage nurse will quickly evaluate the patient’s condition. The number of patients in the emergency department and the severity of their conditions will determine the order in which they are seen. Patients with the most serious problems are seen first.

Things to remember

• In an emergency department, it is extremely important that the most acutely ill and injured are seen first.
• The emergency department requires space to operate and for the staff to perform their duties. Therefore, the number of visitors in the treatment area must be kept to as few as possible.
• Every effort is made to provide prompt care. Valley Health’s Emergency Department’s are staffed 24 hours a day by a team of nurses, physicians and staff who perform laboratory work and x-rays. Good health is the primary concern.
• If conditions change, or family members have questions or concerns while in the waiting area, the triage nurse or registration staff should be notified.
