The main hospital ER has 42 beds, including nine beds in the Convenient Care area of the department. All physicians are Board Certified in Emergency Medicine and/or pediatric emergency medicine. Backus Hospital’s Emergency Care and Trauma Center is one of the most modern emergency departments statewide.
As part of a recent expansion, the ED is nearly double its former size to accommodate continually increasing patient volume – more than 60,000 visits per year. Despite this increase, the department routinely places among the top percentile nationwide for patient satisfaction.
