Emergency Services

Benewah Community Hospital’s Emergency Department is fully staffed 24-hours a day, 7 days a week with highly trained physicians and nursing staff who are always ready to care for you.

Our skilled medical team is very experienced, and our facility can handle a multitude of urgent cases. Our Providers and Nursing staff are certified in Advanced Cardiac Life Support, Advanced Trauma Life Support, Pediatric Advanced Life Support, and have training in neonatal resuscitation. Our Emergency Department is always staffed with a Provider, Registered Nurses, and Certified Nursing Assistants. We also partner with critical care transport services and work closely with regional hospitals for cases requiring specialized care.

If you’re unsure whether your situation requires emergency care, call the nurses station at (208) 245-7623. If you are experiencing a severe emergency, don’t wait. Call 911 or present to the hospital emergency room immediately.

Visitors

Visitors are welcome, but because the emergency department can oftentimes be fast-paced, it is best if family members and friends wait in the reception area while their loved one is being treated. The waiting room is newly remodeled and located just inside the west entrance, near the Admitting Department. Our admitting and nursing staff will do their best to accommodate for you and your family.
