Brunswick & Camden Emergency Room
The Emergency Care Centers at the Brunswick and Camden campuses are staffed
around the clock with highly-qualified physicians and other medical professionals
and have access to state-of-the-art equipment, to ensure the highest quality
of patient care. The Camden Campus is equipped with special hazardous
material (HAZMAT) decontamination capabilities, with a quarantine area
separate from patient treatment rooms.
Bedside registration is provided, which allows us to treat patients more
efficiently. By eliminating lengthy paperwork, we see patients sooner,
shortening patient stays. It also maximizes comfort, since patients can
complete their registration from their bed with their family and loved
ones nearby.
The Emergency Care Centers utilize a triage system to help prioritize
patients who require immediate or lifesaving care and treatment over those
patients arriving with less serious injuries or illnesses. It is our goal
to have everyone seen by a provider within a timely manner, but several
factors may impact the wait times. Some of the reasons include: a high
number of patients arriving at the same time, ambulance patients, seriously
injured or ill patients who require numerous tests or procedures, and
patients who need to be admitted to the hospital. We highly recommend
that patients with minor injuries or illnesses utilize one of our
Immediate Care Centers to help decrease the wait times.
