Quick ER
With our hospital’s Quick ER service, we reduce the amount of time people spend waiting in the Emergency Department for minor emergencies. Like flu, a simple laceration, an ear ache, or simple fractures. People even drive here from Virginia because they get good care and are in and out quickly.

Quick ER is open from 10 a.m. to 1 a.m. every day.
