25,000 emergencies

That’s how many friends, family and neighbors we care for each year in our Emergency Services and Urgent Care Department.

All day every day including weekends and holidays, physicians, nurses and other medical professionals who specialize in emergency medicine are here for you. And from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. every day our Urgent Care is open with physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses and emergency medical technicians who can help you through life’s smaller emergencies.

Riverview’s emergency entrance is located on the west side of the hospital near 3rd Street and Riverview Expressway. One side of the ambulance garage is available to drop off patients who need assistance into the emergency department. Patients who are able can walk in and register at the Emergency/Urgent Care reception desk. A registered nurse who has special training to assess conditions will determine whether the patient needs urgent care or traditional emergency care.

At least one of Riverview’s emergency medicine physician specialists is on duty at all times to provide and coordinate emergency care in the department. Specialty consultation is also available within 30 minutes by other members of the Riverview Hospital Medical Staff, including family physicians and internists, surgeons, orthopedists, obstetrics/gynecologists, pediatricians, ophthalmologists, ENTs and anesthesiologists.

Riverview Urgent Care, designed to handle medical conditions for which the patient can quickly receive treatment and be released home, is provided by physician assistants and nurse practitioners.  Urgent care is designed to supplement, not replace, the clinic doctor as the primary provider of medical care.
