A trip to an emergency room can be a harrowing experience. At Johnston Memorial Hospital, we know how frightening it can be for you or a loved one to require urgent care. That's why our Emergency Department is staffed 24 hours a day with compassionate, highly trained physicians and nurses to provide reassuring, expert care in your time of need.

The Emergency department uses a system called triage to assess patients' conditions and treat them in order of most immediate severity. Regardless of your personal need, our goal is to provide you with not only the best in medical attention, but also the most comfortable visit possible.

If you are experiencing an emergency situation, call 911 immediately. If you are unsure whether your injury or illness requires emergency care, please  call “Ask A Nurse” at 1-800-888-5551.

For additional information regarding our services, please call (276) 676-7200.
