Our EMERGENCY SERVICE is coordinated by a Nurse Supervisor and a Triage Nurse, in consultation with the on-duty physician. The word “triage” means that a qualified, experienced medical professional will see that the patient with the most life-threatening condition (classified emergent) will be seen immediately. In some instances, this may mean that a person with a cold, fever or minor cut (classified non-urgent) may not be seen immediately upon arrival. Similarly, patients with lacerations, higher fevers, overdoses and fractures (classified urgent) may have to be seen before the non-urgent but after the emergent.
