Emergency Services

Emergencies can happen at any time. That’s when you can count Covenant Health.

Hospital and emergency department sign entrance.

We’re here for you 24/7/365.

When arriving at the Emergency Room, patients 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 you require a visit to the emergency room, contact your physician or conduct a virtual urgent care visit.
