The Emergency Department is staffed by specially trained providers which include physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurses, and paramedics. The Emergency Department is equipped with three trauma rooms and six examination rooms in order to adequately care for a wide variety of emergency needs ranging from minor medical problems to stabilizing trauma victims. Air and ground ambulance services provide our patients with safe transport in the event additional specialty care is required during their emergency.
We have four full-time crews in the following locations – two crews
in Washington (stationed at Daviess Community Hospital), one crew in Odon,
and one crew in Cannelburg.
Requests for non-emergent ambulance transport can be made by dialing 812-254-1060.
