Overview
When immediate medical care is critical, rely on the experience of the emergency department at Cleveland Clinic Florida. Our emergency department provides care to patients 24 hours a day, seven days a week and is staffed by board-certified emergency medicine physicians. Each year, the volume of patient visits exceeds 35,000 and we treat emergencies ranging from broken bones to heart attacks to strokes. Our experienced team of emergency physicians and nurses are dedicated to providing high quality patient centered care for our community.
Our emergency department features 22 treatment rooms/spaces equipped to handle everything from minor illnesses to critical conditions. To further expedite patient care, our Fast Track area involves placing medical staff members at the front door of the Emergency Department in order to take non-critical patients to a room where they can be registered and immediately seen by healthcare professionals. Non-critical patients are kept vertical which means they sit upright while receiving treatment. As a result, rooms with high-tech medical equipment are more readily available for critical cases.
