Hunt Regional Medical Center at Greenville
Emergency Department

The 21-bed Emergency Department, open continuously, is a Level III General Trauma Facility. A multidisciplinary trauma team is accessible at all times.

The Emergency Department's Emergency Physicians treat cardiac and other medical emergencies and trauma from accidents or violent crimes.

RNs on the Emergency Department nursing staff have completed Advanced Cardiac Life Support training.

The staff also includes nurses trained in Pediatric Advanced Life Support and the Trauma Nurse Core Course. There are Certified Emergency Nurses on the nursing staff.

Medical personnel from radiology, laboratory, respiratory therapy, CT scan, nursing staff join the emergency physician and trauma surgeon to comprise the Trauma Team.

American Medical Response Mobile Intensive Care Units transport patients to the ER. Paramedics and Emergency Medical Technicians can start performing critical emergency treatment while patients are enroute to the hospital.

In the event of critical injuries requiring treatment at a more comprehensive trauma facility, patients can be transferred via ambulance or helicopter.

Because critical cases are treated first, there may be a wait in the Emergency Department for minor emergencies.
