Kingwood emergency care services

The ER on the HCA Houston Kingwood campus provides the closest full-service care in northeast Houston. We have board-certified ER physicians, registered nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and emergency care technicians who work as a team to ensure we deliver the highest-quality care in the most efficient manner. Some of our emergency care services include:

• Heart attack: As an Accredited Chest Pain Center, we meet quality-of-care measures in acute cardiac medicine. We also offer a STEMI (St-Elevation Myocardial Infarction) program so that our heart attack response team can effectively treat the most serious heart attack patients during a critical window of care.
• Obstetrical Emergency Department: Located at the Women & Children's Center, the OBED houses an in-hospital OB/GYN 24/7 (or OB hospitalist), who evaluates women with obstetric issues, consults with the patient's primary physician or OB/GYN and is ready for any obstetric emergency that might arise.
• Pediatric Emergency Center: We provide 24/7 pediatric emergency care in a safe, comfortable, child-friendly environment. Our pediatric team includes board-certified pediatricians, ER physicians, and specialists, as well as registered nurses skilled in communicating with and caring for children.
• Stroke care: As a Comprehensive Stroke Center, we are able to provide the highest level of stroke care possible. Our emergency CT scanning allows us to quickly determine the type of stroke and start providing care. In addition, our hospital provides a comprehensive neurological and stroke rehab program.

We have the ability to treat children and adults with everything from scrapes, sprains, and broken bones to major emergencies, like heart attacks and strokes.

From our freestanding emergency care centers, we can provide an easy admission process into HCA Houston Kingwood for inpatient care (if needed) or another hospital of choice. Direct admission by ambulance to a private room is quick, with a continuity of care similar to what you would experience in our main campus emergency room.

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 is proud to be affiliated with CareNow®, our network of urgent care centers with 19 locations across the Houston area.
