Our dedicated adult and pediatric emergency departments are staffed by board-certified emergency medicine doctors, advanced practice providers (physician assistants and nurse practitioners), and nurses 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We are a Level 1 Adult and Level 1 Pediatric Trauma receiving center for San Bernardino, Riverside and Inyo counties. We are also a designated Comprehensive Stroke Center and Chest Pain Center dedicated to rapid intervention for acute strokes and heart attacks.
The entrance to our Emergency Departments is located on Campus Street (the west side of the hospital) just north of Barton Road. Primary parking is immediately adjacent to the emergency department on the east side of Campus Ave.
Most Emergency Department visits aren't planned. However, if you are able, please bring the following with you:
When you arrive and register in the Emergency Department, you will first see a triage nurse. The triage nurse may conduct a brief medical history and exam to determine the severity of your condition. Registration information will be taken by admissions and registration personnel.
Depending on the seriousness of your injury or illness, you may be taken directly to a treatment room, or you may be asked to wait until a treatment area is available.
If your condition changes while you are in the waiting room, please notify the triage nurse immediately.
Our physicians and nurses are specialists in emergency medicine. They will examine you and will create a plan of care based on your individual treatment needs. Lab tests and diagnostic procedures may be ordered to further help diagnose your condition.
Additional consulting physicians and/or social workers may also participate in the evaluation. Since LLUMC/LLUCH is an academic medical center, residents (physicians receiving advanced training) may also be involved in your care, under the supervision of highly qualified professors, called "attending physicians."
Emergency Department physicians will discuss any treatment plans with you, or with you and your family, and will always protect your right to privacy.
Depending upon your specific medical condition, the Emergency Department physician will either:
If you are released following treatment, you will receive written discharge instructions prior to leaving the Emergency Department. It is important that you understand and follow the instructions. At the time of discharge, you will be given instructions for follow up and further care. If you have any questions, make sure you ask your doctor or nurse before you leave.
The Emergency Department physician will discuss details with you and your family if you are going to be admitted to the Medical Center or transferred to the Children’s Hospital. You will be escorted to a hospital room, and your medical care will be taken over by the healthcare team in the assigned unit.
