Fairview Southdale Hospital’s emergency service offers a full spectrum of treatments ranging from minor injuries to life-saving care. Our physicians are experienced, highly trained and board-certified in emergency medicine, providing exceptional care 24-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week. And now, we are a Level III Trauma Center.
Trauma comes in many forms and is defined as a sudden, unexpected injury. A fall from a ladder, broken ankle in a basketball game at the gym or injuries sustained in a vehicle accident all constitute types of trauma that can be assessed and treated at a Level III Trauma Center.
In the Fairview Southdale Hospital emergency department, we expertly assess each patient, determining the proper course of treatment or referral to another medical specialty. We recognize the need for prompt, quality care, and it is our goal to assess and treat patients in a timely manner. Known throughout the state for our heart and vascular care, we have the best available resuscitation equipment, an intensive care unit, on-site surgical staff, digital imaging including x-ray, MRI and CT scanners.
