Emergency Room

We're Here For You
Accidents and emergencies are a part of everyday life. That's why Onslow Memorial Hospital's Emergency Department
is ready any time, day or night, every day of the week and every day of the year.

Advanced Care
Our Emergency Department can find answers quickly. We have the area's most advanced CT and MRI imaging. And,
our full-service lab offers onsite screenings, tissue studies, cytology and testing 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Skilled Physicians and Staff
An emergency situation can be scary for you and your family, but know you can always count on Onslow Memorial
Hospital for quality care. Our staff of board-certified physicians, skilled nurses, nurse practitioners, patient care technicians
and diagnostic technicians provides accurate emergency care as quickly as possible.

Step One: Triage
After arriving, a registered nurse evaluates your health and gathers a brief history. The severity of your condition is based
on this information. Please understand that patients arriving after you may be treated before you if their condition warrants.

Step Two: Registration
Next, we create a record for your visit. Critically ill patients receive immediate care. Patients with minor injuries can
receive care in our Minor Emergency Care Center.

Step Three: Care
Because of space limitations and patient privacy, only one visitor is allowed in the treatment area at all times. We make
every effort to provide prompt care to all patients. However, lab testing, x-ray procedures and physician consults may
extend the time required to complete your care.

Step Four: Discharge/Admittance
If you're not admitted to the hospital, you'll receive instructions about prescriptions and follow-up care. If you have
questions, please ask. Patients are responsible for their own care after they leave the Emergency Department. Don't
forget to schedule any follow-up appointments. After you have received your medical treatment, you will be escorted
to a Patient Access Representative - or the Patient Access Representative will arrive in your room - to finalize your checkout
process.

Patient Satisfaction
Please tell us about your experience at Onslow Memorial Hospital. While we appreciate thanks, we encourage you to
provide suggestions for improvement. Your suggestions help us provide the highest quality care.

Minor Emergency Care Center
Patients with minor injuries can skip the Emergency Eepartment and head to our Minor Emergency Care Center. An
alternative to a traditional ER visit, our Minor Emergency Care Center serves patients with non-life-threatening injuries
and illnesses.

Located within the Emergency Department, the Minor Emergency Care Center is staffed by experienced nurses and
nurse practitioners. Patients with minor injuries, sore throats, earaches and other minor medical problems are seen in
the Minor Emergency Care Center.
