We're Ready When You Need "Patients expect high quality and
safe emergency care, and that's what
they can expect at LWRMC," says
Susan Domagala, RN, Director of
Critical Care Services at LWRMC.
Experienced healthcare
professionals care for patients
suffering from heart attacks, strokes,
acute illnesses, broken bones and
other medical emergencies. Nurses
have additional training in pediatric
emergency care because of the large
number of children who visit the ED.
In addition, hospital specialists --
including women's health physicians,
cardiologists, neurologists and
orthopedic surgeons -- are available to
help manage medical emergencies.
Patients at LWRMC do not
spend time in long registration lines
or receive emergency care in large
treatment bays with other patients.
Instead, privacy starts the moment
they arrive at the ED. The department
has two private triage rooms where
nurses perform initial assessments.
Staff members register patients at the
bedside so they can begin treatment
as quickly as possible. And patients
receive emergency care in one of 15
private treatment rooms.
"We go the extra mile to help make
ED visits more positive for patients,"
Domagala says. "Most rooms have
televisions to make patients more
comfortable. We have videos and other
activities to help distract children
when they're not feeling well."

Emergencies happen every day.
And though we'd like to think
they will not happen to us, we
know better. Consider these scenarios:
You develop chest pain. Your child
has a deep cut. Your weekend-warrior
spouse suffers a sports injury. Your
aging parent falls. Now take comfort
in this: No matter what your family
needs, expert emergency care is always
available close to home. The Lakewood
Ranch Medical Center (LWRMC) fullservice
Emergency Department (ED) is
open around the clock to treat patients
of all ages.
"We provide more than expert
emergency care at LWRMC,"
Domagala says. "What sets us apart
from many other EDs is that we listened
to patients when they said they wanted
private, convenient, and prompt care in
the emergency room and upgraded to
better meet their needs."

It's not always easy to decide when you or your family members are facing a true
medical emergency. The emergency specialists at Lakewood Ranch Medical Center
say that if your condition is not life-threatening, you can call your doctor for
advice. But you should seek emergency care right away if you have any of these
symptoms:
