Emergency Services
Emergencies can happen at any time. That’s why it’s important to be prepared and know where to go when you need medical care- fast. The emergency medicine team at Bayfront Health Seven Rivers provides care to patients in Crystal River and surrounding areas when they need it most.
Our highly trained staff can provide care for everything from cuts and broken bones to life-threatening conditions such as heart attack or stroke. We provide efficient, prompt and compassionate care, and offer:
- Multi-functional treatment rooms for patients with varied conditions.
- A dynamic ER design focused on providing a better experience for patients and visitors.
- Dedicated health care professionals who are committed to quality care.
- A continued commitment to keep wait times to a minimum.
- Helipad outside to transport seriously ill and/or trauma patients.
Our emergency department has two distinct areas of treatment -- one for your minor emergencies and the other for your major health care emergencies. A dedicated area for minor injuries and illnesses is staffed by a nurse practitioner and registered nurses. Hours of operation are 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., seven days a week. Specialty rooms throughout the emergency department are available 24/7 for cardiac emergencies, trauma, orthopedics, pediatrics, gynecological and decontamination.
Bayfront Health Seven Rivers has earned the Gold Seal of Approval™ from The Joint Commission for Primary Stroke Centers (2007). The first Certified Primary Stroke Center in Citrus and Levy Counties, we follow national standards and guidelines published by the Brain Attack Coalition and the American Stroke Association for stroke care. Less than 1% of all hospitals in the United States have received this certification.
When the opponent is stroke, you need strong allies. In 2011, the Stroke Emergency Specialists program was initiated. An innovative alliance between Seven Rivers Regional Medical Center and UF Health, the program strengthens the level of stroke services offered at our regional medical center.
This powerful alliance unites the University’s highly acclaimed faculty physicians, resources and protocols with Seven Rivers Regional Medical Center’s. The alliance provides:
- VIP physician-to-physician consultation
- Priority transfer status to UF Health Shands Hospital, when necessary
- Superior healthcare through shared resources
