Open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, the
emergency departments at Mount Carmel East, West and St. Ann's offer quality,
comprehensive emergency medical care to more the 220,000 patients each year.
With streamlined emergency procedures and advanced
diagnostic processes, our emergency medical team of experienced physicians,
specially trained nurses and other healthcare professionals provides treatment
for patients with a wide variety of medical needs.
Working
together with cardiologists, emergency physicians and cath lab staff, Mount Carmel has also developed rapid triage processes
and special response teams to identify cardiovascular problems and promptly
route these patients through the necessary levels of care. Our door-to-EKG time
is below 10 minutes, and a unique treatment protocol allows us to treat heart
attack patients 20 minutes faster than the national standard. If patients require a higher level of care, we offer a wide range of services — everything
from angioplasty and stent placement to complex surgical procedures.
