Palmetto General Hospital’s adult and pediatric Emergency Departments are staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week by physicians, specially trained nurses and technologists to provide care for patients who are experiencing acute problems and need immediate attention.

Although our Emergency Department is dedicated to ensuring that life-threatening situations are given the highest priority, all our patients are important - including those experiencing minor, non-life threatening problems.  Upon admission to our Emergency Department, triage nurses evaluate our patients to assess their condition and determine which patients require immediate treatment.  We keep our patients’ physicians apprised of the circumstances, and they play a key role in the post-incident follow-up.

For emergency services, call us at (305) 364-2124.
