24-Hour Emergency Care at Three Nearby Locations

When you are sick, or need immediate medical care, why wait long hours in an emergency room? At CHA, we can usually begin helping you in five minutes or less. Please note: always call 9-1-1 if you need medical help right away.

How we do it:

We have worked hard to create one of the most efficient emergency room services in the entire nation, without sacrificing quality. Our approach includes:

• A state-of-the-art patient triage and tracking system, which lets us monitor our patients in real-time.
• Rapid assessment protocols that help us prioritize our work.
• New staff at all three sites, including highly trained doctors, nurses, physician assistants, and patient greeters.
• A streamlined admission process that helps us get the sickest patients to a hospital bed sooner.
• Psychiatry Emergency Care, including a separate Psychiatric ER at our Cambridge Hospital campus and separate psychiatric emergency rooms at our Whidden Hospital campus.
