Whether it’s chest pain, a laceration, a sprain, trouble breathing or other emergent medical situations, our emergency team is ready for you! When you arrive our triage nurse will ask you questions about your medical condition or that of your family member. At that time, your vital signs, such as temperature, pulse and blood pressure may be taken. The triage nurse’s responsibility is to utilize this criteria to prioritize patient care in the Emergency Department and to help ensure the most urgent needs are addressed first.
