Baptist East's full service Emergency Department is open around-the-clock to treat serious injuries or dangerous symptoms. The specially-trained staff includes doctors, nurses and technicians who offer high quality care when you need it most. With leading edge diagnostic equipment located in the department, X-rays and CT Scans are processed quickly, allowing faster diagnosis and treatment. The Emergency Department staff cares for patients facing life-threatening situations every day. They realize, however, that your situation is unique, no matter what your symptoms, and offer several special programs, including:

• Trager Pediatric Emergency Care for times when your child's doctor's office is closed.
• Chest Pain Unit where patients suffering from chest pain can be evaluated to rule out the possibility of a heart attack.
