Emergency Care

In an emergency, you should call 911 and proceed directly to our fully-staffed, 24 hour Emergency Center.

When urgent but less life-threatening care is needed, walk-in services are available in our Emergency Center 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You should be familiar with your insurance plan's policy about emergency care. Many require authorization from your primary care physician before seeking emergency care. If you don't call your doctor first, you may be responsible for paying any and all emergency care costs. At Portsmouth Regional Hospital, emergency care is provided to all people, regardless of their health insurance or ability to pay.
