At Kadlec emergency departments, patients are treated by providers who are certified in emergency medicine. Our Lantern Award-winning emergency department (ED) is staffed around-the-clock by specially trained doctors, nurses and technicians who are dedicated to caring for people who require immediate medical assistance.

Hospital and stand-alone emergency departments focus on medical emergencies, not routine health care. You should go to the ED if a person or unborn baby has a life-threatening emergency or could be permanently disabled from an illness or injury.

Do not go to the ED for a problem that is not an emergency. If you do, it could cost more than going to a doctor’s office or a walk-in clinic and may take longer to be seen. A trip to the ED for an earache, for example, may cost three to four times as much as it would at your doctor’s office.

The Washington State Hospital Association produced a video to help you better understand when to go to the ED. The video also explains when to use virtual care, urgent care services or make an appointment with your primary care provider. Visit a hospital emergency department only for serious or life-threatening emergencies.
