You do not plan to visit the emergency department. It just happens, and usually when you least expect it. At Easton Hospital, we practice a philosophy of emergency care which helps further our goal that you will receive quality medical care as quickly and professionally as possible.
Easton Hospital's Emergency Department provides urgent and emergency care 24-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week. Located in the Ambulatory Care Building of the Main Hospital Campus, the Department is staffed by fully qualified emergency room physicians, nurses, and specialists.
Comprehensive emergency care services include coverage of orthopedic, cardiac, stroke, OB/GYN, pediatric, ENT, medical and surgical patients. Internal medicine residents are available around the clock.
A select group of patients who have had a stroke may benefit from powerful thrombolytic therapy known as tPA, or tissue plasminogen activator, available through Easton Hospital's Emergency Department. The protocol, which works by restoring blood flow to the brain when administered at the onset of stroke symptoms, may lessen the chances of disability and even death.
