What to Expect in our Emergency Room
As a patient, you will be cared for by staff trained to respond to medical emergencies. We understand a visit to the ER can be a very stressful time; therefore, you should expect us to communicate with you and guide you through your situation. You should always ask questions if you do not understand.
Quality Emergency Care, Close to Home
Bluegrass Community Hospital prides itself on patient-centered emergency care. We know that when it comes to emergencies, every minute matters.
Our facility has been accredited as a Chest Pain Center through the American College of Cardiology since 2016.
Bluegrass Community Hospital also collaborates with UK HealthCare for our stroke and cardiac programs. As an affiliate of the UK Gill Heart & Vascular Institute and the UK Stroke Care Network, we are able to diagnose, treat and intervene when heart attacks and strokes occur for our patients.
Did you know that University of Kentucky neurosurgeons work in partnership via telemedicine with our emergency room physicians to identify and treat strokes?
Remember: Call 9-1-1
If you believe you are experiencing a medical emergency, calling 9-1-1 is almost always the fastest way to get lifesaving treatment. EMS staff are trained to revive someone whose heart has stopped. It is best to call EMS for rapid transport to the emergency room.
