EMERGENCY
SERVICES
Klickitat
Valley Hospital provides emergency medical services 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week. The ER is staffed by physicians and RNs that
are Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) and Trauma certified,
as required by the State Level IV Trauma Certification criteria.
Emergency staff evaluate and treat emergency medical conditions
such as cardiac emergencies, motor vehicle accidents, falls, lacerations
and any serious trauma that threatens the loss of life or limb.
As part of
the recent facility expansion at Klickitat Valley Hospital, several
components have been added to the Emergency Services department.
Our new 7 bed emergency room offers patients and medical personnel
a greater level of privacy during treatment. Additional features
enhance the staffs ability to respond immediately to unique
safety concerns, including a decontamination shower and a negative
pressure isolation room for the treatment of contagious patients.
To ensure
patient access to intensive care treatment, Life Flight
(medivac airlift) provides air transfers of serious trauma patients
to Legacy Emanuel Hospital in Portland, Oregon, the region's closest
Level 1 Trauma Center. Life Flight transport is available
to other specialty hospitals as well.
> OPEN
ACCESS at the Family Practice Clinic:
If you have a medical need that's not an emergency, the Open Access
program lets you see a medical provider as a walk-in patient.
No Appointment Necessary!
