Emergency Medicine

When seconds count, emergency care can be your lifeline.

Serious medical emergencies — like stroke symptoms, chest pains, head injuries or injuries from a car accident — are unpredictable. They can strike anywhere at any moment. And in those critical situations, when time is of the essence, you need immediate medical attention from specialists skilled in emergency care. Our highly trained Cleveland Clinic Emergency Medicine teams are here to help.

We know that for many emergencies, an ambulance will take you to the closest emergency department (ED) — also known as the emergency room (ER). But when you’re deciding if you need to go in on your own — and exactly where to go — know that Cleveland Clinic EDs are here for you every day of the year, around the clock. You can count on us to quickly assess your condition and determine the right treatment for any kind of serious or life-threatening medical emergency.
