Pediatric Care - KidsTrek:
When children get sick or injured, it's a frightening experience for both parents and children. Our KidsTrek area is staffed with board certified pediatricians, Nurse Practitioners, Physician's Assistant's and RNs with special pediatric training from 4 p.m. to midnight when the pediatrician office is closed. Our child-friendly rooms are designed to reduce the anxiety and provide a calming environment.
Chest Pain Center:
With chest pain, time means everything. The sooner the blocked artery causing a heart attack is opened, the quicker the blood flow is restored to the heart muscle, the better the outcome for the patient. Exempla Good Samaritan Medical Center is an accredited chest pain center from the Society of Chest Pain Centers. This means they have established protocols to quickly assess patients with chest pain and get them to treatment quickly and effectively.
Remember, in an emergency you should always go to the nearest medical facility.
