Timely treatment by design
Gone are the days when people with a “minor” illness or injury sat for hours in the waiting room while “important” emergency cases took priority. We have designed a better way. Your emergency care begins the moment you come through the door and are greeted by a registered nurse for initial evaluation. Following this triage process, the patient begins a treatment program in which his or her emergency is a high priority.

Minor emergencies in and out in about an hour
Many patients come for emergency treatment of minor injuries and illnesses. Most of them will be well served through the Emergency Express program. It’s an example of how emergency care has evolved at Union Hospital. Emergency Express has dramatically reduced the waiting time to see the doctor, be treated, and go home. On average, Emergency Express patients are in and out of the hospital in about one hour.
