Emergency Department

Our emergency healthcare team

Professionals from all departments of Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center make up our emergency healthcare team. Included are:

  • Emergency Department physicians. The doctor who directs your care in our department is highly skilled in emergency and urgent medical care and receives continual training to stay up to date with the latest emergency treatment advances.
  • Specially trained nurses. Emergency Department nurses at Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center are specially trained to evaluate and administer nursing care quickly in any emergency. Their training includes, but is not limited to, trauma nurse care course (TNCC) certification, advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) and pediatric advanced life support (PALS).
  • Emergency department technicians. Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center offers state-of-the-art technology for emergency situations. The people who handle this specialized equipment—our emergency room technicians and paramedics—work right alongside the doctors and nurses who care for you.
  • Chaplains. Saint Joseph Center for Spiritual Care offers the services of a clinically trained, interdenominational chaplaincy staff. Chaplains are available 24 hours a day, every day, to provide more of the emotional and spiritual support patients and their families often need in emergency situations. Your nurse will be happy to call a chaplain for you.
  • Residents. Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center is a teaching hospital. Residents are doctors who are training for medical and surgical specialties, and they may participate in your treatment under the direction of the Emergency Department physician.
