Houlton Regional Hospital

Houlton Regional Hospital's Emergency Department is dedicated to providing exceptional emergency medical care to individuals with a wide range of needs, from life-threatening conditions to minor injuries and illnesses. With 24/7 availability, the department is staffed by experienced physicians, registered nurses, and midlevel providers, and features 10 patient treatment rooms that are assigned based on the urgency and type of care required. When patients arrive at the ER, they are assessed by a trained triage nurse who evaluates their condition and determines the level of emergency. While waiting times may vary depending on the number and severity of cases, the ER team works diligently to ensure prompt treatment. The department conducts various tests, such as lab work, x-rays, CT scans, and ultrasounds, which may contribute to wait times. Additionally, in some cases, the involvement of other doctors or specialists may be necessary, and if required, patients may be admitted or transferred to another facility. Despite the potential wait, Houlton Regional Hospital's Emergency Department remains committed to delivering efficient and comprehensive care to all patients.Generated from the website
