Benewah Community Hospital's Emergency Room is fully physician staffed, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with medical services available to handle a full range of serious injuries and illnesses. Four Board Certified emergency physicians and nurses, specially trained in critical care and emergency life saving with Advanced Life Support training in trauma, cardiac and pediatrics, staff our ER. Other physicians, well-trained nurses, and technologists, round out the ER team. If, after initial examination and stabilization, it is determined to be in the best interest of the patient, our life flight partner, Med Star, transports patients via helicopter to one of three major trauma hospitals within a 60 mile radius.
Patients presenting at Benewah Community Hospital Emergency Room are seen within 20 minutes, or less, after arrival compared to the national average for patient "wait time" in Urban Emergency Rooms which is currently three to four hours.
