Avera’s emergency services are supported by telemedicine — giving you and your emergency care team immediate access to specialized personnel via two-way video, if needed for your care. These specialists act as extra eyes who assist your hands-on experts as they work swiftly to care for or stabilize you.
Our emergency department was designed with our patients in mind. If you arrive by ambulance, you are unloaded in our ambulance garage before entering the facility. This prevents exposure to the weather and helps protect your privacy. Those not arriving by ambulance have a designated entrance on the south side of the building. Follow the signage and look for an awning with a red “Emergency” nearby.
Our team will ensure you’re stabilized and cared for in a private area to further preserve your dignity. This flow of patient rooms also allows staff efficiency in serving patients and in team communication.
Same-day lab results and other diagnostic tests are available. Right inside our facility, you have access to a wide range of laboratory services that contribute to accurate diagnoses of medical conditions. Expert specialists conduct safe and reliable lab testing, helping you and your provider get the results you need to start an effective and personalized treatment plan.
Imaging technology, such as X-rays and CT scans, is available for staff to order for patients visiting the emergency room. MRI is available via mobile unit. Experts conduct comfortable and quick imaging, so you receive an accurate diagnosis which will determine the right treatment for your health.
Located in the emergency room vestibule, Naloxone Overdose Emergency Kits are available to the public 24/7. There are two doses in each kit.
Naloxone, also known by the brand name Narcan®, is a vital, life-saving tool in the fight against overdose deaths. By placing naloxone within reach, we are helping reduce barriers to the critical overdose reversal medication.
