Faster Treatment = Better Outcomes People have been avoiding emergency rooms fearing they will be exposed to the COVID-19 virus. Getting to the hospital quickly is critical for patients suffering heart attacks or strokes, when heart and brain cells can die by the minute. Other serious conditions — such as severe headache or stomach ache — can also cause long-lasting damage if treatment is delayed. Our regionally recognized emergency services, cardiac care and Comprehensive Stroke Center teams are here 24/7 to provide you and your family with rapid intervention and treatment for all medical emergencies. Your Safety = Our Priority To keep you safe, we have put in place stringent safety and infection control measures in our Pomeroy Emergency Services Department and across our entire hospital and outpatient sites to prevent the spread of infection, including: Screening patients, visitors and staff at entry points Requiring all patients, visitors and staff to wear a mask Isolating COVID-19 patients in negative pressure rooms Rigorous deep cleaning/disinfecting of all surface areas Don't wait to go to the Emergency Department – Call 911 #TakeMeToCrouse Here for CNY. As always.
