For Aberdeen, come to the east side of Avera St. Luke's main campus, just off Third Avenue Southeast and South Penn Street. The most direct route to the Emergency Room is through the northeast door, the door north of the main East Entrance.

If you are experiencing an emergency health situation, call 911 immediately for assistance.

Services

Our services include stabilization of life-threatening conditions, immediate treatment of major or minor illness or injury, and emergency treatment of trauma victims. Our team includes physicians, triage nurses, registered nurses, Careflight registered nurses and paramedics, and support staff. We have eight Emergency Room beds and three trauma rooms, along with rooms for observation, pediatrics, obstetrics, eye care and orthopedics.

When you make a visit to our Emergency Department, be aware that the people who are most seriously hurt or who need care the most will be helped first. It's also helpful to have a list of your medications with you.

Attending physicians will be notified if the Emergency Room physician determines you need to be admitted. Emergency Department physicians serve only in this department, so your case will be handled by another physician if you are admitted to our hospital.
