Our hospital and freestanding emergency departments are ready to provide life-saving care 24 hours a day. Patients arriving at the ER with life-threatening injuries or illnesses are seen immediately. Patients who are determined to have non life-threatening conditions may experience a longer wait time. Our goal is to treat all emergency patients as quickly as possible. If you are unsure whether to come to the emergency room, contact your physician or use Covenant Health’s virtual urgent care service. Our virtual urgent care is available 24/7 anywhere in Tennessee.
