Emergency Medicine
Emergencies happen in an instant...so should your care.
Maryland General's emergency department is designed to ensure that our patients are seen as quickly as possible and are provided with the most sophisticated level of care.
At Maryland General Hospital, we realize the last thing you need during an emergency is to have to wait. Under our system, patients receive bedside registration and quick triage.
Shortly after being registered, you are visited by a physician and other clinical staff. This Rapid Access Team comes to you as a group so everyone hears your history and current problems at one time.
At Maryland General, great things come to those who don't have to wait.
The Emergency Department at Maryland General Hospital provides 24-hour evaluation and emergency treatment. Emergency care at Maryland General is comprehensive, serving patients of all ages. This terrific care is delivered by our experienced team of emergency experts, who are specially trained to treat your serious illnesses and minor injuries which may include:
