Emergency Services at Shoreline Medical Center

The Shoreline Medical Center offers a full complement of emergency services – 24 hours a day, seven days a week – provided by board–certified emergency physicians and other clinical personnel. There are 12 emergency treatment rooms, with two of these rooms dedicated to critical patients. An Express Care area also serves patients with non–life–threatening but urgent medical needs.

There are also isolation and decontamination areas in the Emergency Department and a helipad on site for LIFE STAR medical helicopter transports.
