The PRH Emergency Center is fully staffed, 24 hours a day with Board Certified Emergency Physicians and nurses who are specially trained and certified in trauma and advanced cardiac life support. With two doctors and a nurse practitioner on duty during peak hours, you won’t spend a lot of time waiting.

The Chest Pain Center responds to emergency cardiac cases, responding quickly to stop heart attacks in progress and minimize damage to the heart.

Our outstanding orthopedic surgical staff is immediately available to treat sports injuries, falls and childhood accidents, in addition to complex traumas.

For non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries, our Fast Track Emergency Service is a convenient, timesaving option.
