Crozer's Emergency Department is one of the busiest in southeastern Pennsylvania. We provide care to more than 46,000 patients each year, representing a 39 percent increase over the past decade. To respond to this growing need, we've doubled the size of our original ER.
This additional space has enabled us to build a state-of-the-art facility that enhances our efforts to continue to provide patients with advanced life-saving care. And we have added many special features to make our patients’ experiences as efficient and comfortable as possible.
Our new ER is the largest in Delaware and Chester Counties and the only one in Delaware County with a regional trauma center and access to a regional burn center. Its special features include:
- More than 50 treatment areas, affording patients the greatest measure of privacy and comfort.
- An "Express Care" treatment area. Designed for patients with minor injuries or illness, the “Express Care” provides quick and easy care so patients can be on their way as soon as possible.
Self-contained trauma area so that our most critically ill patients will be brought to a dedicated area with supplies and equipment necessary to life-saving efforts and staffed with clinicians certified in trauma care.
- A dedicated burn resuscitation room and two dedicated medical/ pediatric resuscitation rooms, specially equipped for the needs of these patients.
- A dedicated CT Scanner/Diagnostic Imaging Suite that eliminates the need for patients to be transported to other areas of the medical center for diagnostic procedures, saving precious time.
- The most advanced integrated technology for emergency room communications, patient monitoring and tracking, and digital imaging.
- A state-of-the-art decontamination area for patients who have been exposed to hazardous materials.
- Designated pediatric waiting and treatment areas that allow us to protect our youngest patients and visitors from disturbing sights and sounds.
- Separate entrances for ambulance traffic and walk-ins to enhance efficiency and to ensure that those with the most urgent needs are identified immediately.
- A large and comfortable patient waiting area. Private patient waiting areas are also available for patients and their families undergoing extremely stressful or difficult situations.
