Our Approach

Nobody wants to find themselves in the emergency department. But if you end up at ours, you’ll know you’re in fast-acting, expert hands. Our emergency department is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with emergency physicians and advanced practice providers.

We are the only Level II adult trauma center in Snohomish County and are well prepared to handle complex emergencies. Acute care surgeons, adult and pediatric hospitalists and intensivists are here round-the-clock. Other key specialists, such as anesthesiologists, neurosurgeons and orthopedists are just a call away if you need their services.

When you first arrive at the emergency department, we’ll register you and get your consent for treatment. A triage nurse will evaluate your illness or injury to determine how quickly a doctor should see you. Keep in mind, we treat patients by order of urgency. This means someone who arrives after you may receive treatment before you if their condition is more urgent. We do strive to keep wait times to a minimum.

Conditions We Treat

Our emergency department expertly treats all kinds of illnesses and injuries, including ones that can be life-threatening or cause serious complications, including:

Bleeding that doesn’t stop
Changes in vision
Coughing or vomiting blood
Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath that’s worse than usual
Difficulty speaking
Fainting, sudden dizziness or weakness
Fever of 104 degrees or higher in a baby younger than 6 months
Heart attack or severe chest pain
Loss of consciousness
Medically necessary detoxification
Prolonged or persistent headache
Severe or persistent vomiting or diarrhea
Severe or unusual abdominal pain
Stroke, sudden paralysis or slurred speech
Sudden confusion or changes in mental status
Sudden or severe pain
Suicidal feelings

If you have any of these symptoms, go immediately to the nearest emergency department or call 911.

For conditions that are urgent but not life-threatening — such as minor burns or cuts; ear, eye or sinus infections; sports injuries or sprains; rashes; sore throats; coughs and colds — we recommend visiting a walk-in clinic instead of the emergency department so that you can get treated as quickly as possible.

Treatments and Services

During your emergency department visit at Providence Regional Medical Center Everett, you may have several tests. These might include blood or urine tests or radiology tests, such as X-rays or an MRI. It may take up to several hours for your doctor to get the results of these tests and review them. We’ll work to keep you as comfortable as possible while you wait.

Usually one family member or friend can be with you in your treatment room. We may ask that person to step out while we examine you or begin your treatment. With your permission, we’ll keep your loved ones updated.

If your doctor decides to admit you to the hospital, we’ll move you to a room as soon as one is available. A hospitalist or other doctor will then guide your care during your stay.

If you don’t need to be admitted, we’ll discharge you with instructions for home care and follow-up with your personal doctor.

Our Facility

Our emergency department was built with your comfort and convenience in mind. It features 79 large private treatment rooms. Several are dedicated for trauma patients. We also have special rooms for people who are contagious to prevent the spread of illness.

We have X-ray machines and CT scanners in the emergency department that are state-of-the art and limit your radiation exposure.

For your safety, the emergency department is a secured area. We allow authorized access only. Visitors must check in at the front desk and ask to see you. Once inside the treatment area, we ask that they remain at your bedside and respect other patients’ privacy.

Patient Resources

Our goal in the emergency department is to help you as quickly as possible and keep you and your family comfortable. With this in mind, there are several things we’d like you to know.

Interpreters

If you have trouble understanding or speaking English, you may request an interpreter to help communicate with emergency department staff. Call 1-888-574-7127.

Visitors

Because the emergency department is a busy, often crowded space, we usually allow only one family member or friend in the room with you. We ask others to wait in the lobby. Note that we don’t allow visitors under the age of 12.
