Atención de emergencia
La atención de emergencia es el tratamiento de afecciones médicas de emergencia. Generalmente se proporciona en una sala de emergencias, pero también puede hacer referencia al tratamiento que se brinda en una ambulancia. Los médicos especialistas en medicina de emergencia pueden tratar a pacientes con lesiones o infecciones, además de afecciones potencialmente mortales.

Emergency and urgent care in Southeast Houston
In addition to our main hospital emergency department, we serve southeast Houston through two HCA Houston ER 24/7 locations in the Fairmont and North Channel areas. A department of HCA Houston Southeast, HCA Houston ER 24/7 - Fairmont and HCA Houston ER 24/7 - North Channel offer full-service emergency care, board-certified physicians and access to laboratory and imaging services. They are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including holidays, and can treat all types of acute injuries and illnesses.
Many ER visits can be resolved without a hospital stay. If inpatient care is needed, we can provide direct admission to an HCA Houston Healthcare-affiliated facility or facilitate your admission to the hospital of your choice.
While emergency rooms are designed to treat patients with critical conditions and life-threatening injuries, those experiencing minor injuries or illnesses may want to seek urgent care. HCA Houston Healthcare is proud to be affiliated with CareNow®, our network of urgent care centers with 19 locations across the Houston area.
