The Boone Memorial Health Emergency Department serves the community 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, and remains current with its Level IV Trauma Designation.

Our Emergency Medicine professionals handle thousands of emergency visits each year, and treat every one with the same level of importance and respect. We currently have an Emergency Department Safety Team that incorporates strategies to promote patient safety, optimal clinical outcomes, and patient-centered care.

As a Level IV Trauma Center we are able to meet immediate healthcare needs of patients arriving at our facility. All physicians are certified in ATLS (Advanced Trauma Life Support), ACLS (Advanced Cardiac Life Support) and PALS (Pediatric Advanced Life Support) to prepare them for trauma patients. In addition, 100% of our nurses are certified in TNCC (Trauma Nurse Core Curriculum) studies. Nurses and physicians receive Sepsis Training to promote quicker identification and treatment of patients with serious infections. The BMH emergency team continually seeks ways to improve staff performance so we can ensure quality care to all patients.

Patients requiring critical or intensive care can be air lifted to any major hospital in the area.
