Emergency

The hospital also provides emergency services. The emergency garage, completed in April 2005, provides drive-through access so emergency patients can enter the hospital without exposure to the elements. All registered nurses as well as the three general family practitioners and the respiratory therapist are certified in Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) which provides them the skills to manage life-threatening situations in the emergency room. In addition, all R.N.s are trauma certified, enabling them to effectively manage the trauma patients brought to the emergency room. Should transport to another facility be required for services that ACMH cannot render, we have access to helicopter ambulance services. The helicopter lands right outside the emergency room doors.
