Emergency Services

Lakewood Health System's Emergency Department is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.

In addition to our Emergency Department we also provide ambulance transportation according to the patients needs in an appropriate time frame, and we provide Advanced Life Support to critically ill patients during ambulance transportation.

Upon arrival to the Emergency Department (ED) at Lakewood Health System, you will be seen by a Registered Nurse. This is called triage. We recently implemented a 5 level triage system in our Emergency Department. Triaging is the first step to determine the seriousness of your condition.
