What to Expect in our Emergency Room
As a patient, you will be cared for by staff trained to respond to medical emergencies. We understand a visit to the ER can be a very stressful time; therefore, you should expect us to communicate with you and guide you through your situation. You should always ask questions if you do not understand.
Quality Emergency Care, Close to Home
Georgetown Community Hospital is proud to offer personalized patient care in a comforting environment. We are accredited by the American College of Cardiology as a Chest Pain Center and Heart Failure facility.
Our hospital also received Acute Stroke Ready Hospital certification from The Joint Commission and the American Stroke Association. We are committed and prepared to provide high quality care to stroke patients. University of Kentucky neurosurgeons work in partnership via telemedicine with our emergency room physicians to identify and treat strokes.
As an affiliate of the UK Gill Heart & Vascular Institute and the UK Stroke Care Network, we partner with UK Healthcare to diagnose, treat and intervene when heart attacks and strokes occur.
Remember: Call 9-1-1
If you believe you are experiencing a medical emergency, calling 9-1-1 is almost always the fastest way to get lifesaving treatment. EMS staff are trained to revive someone whose heart has stopped. It is best to call EMS for rapid transport to the emergency room.
