You do not plan to visit the emergency department. It just happens, and usually when you least expect it.
Seven days a week, and 24 hours a day, you may receive urgent and emergency care services from a team of quality emergency room physicians and nursing staff. Comprehensive emergency care services include coverage for cardiac, stroke, obstetrical/gynecological, pediatric, medical and surgical patients.
A select group of patients who have had a stroke may benefit from powerful thrombolytic therapy known as TPS, or tissue plasminogen activator, available through HRMC's Emergency Department. This protocol may lessen the possibility of disability, and sometimes even death, often caused by strokes when administered at the onset of stroke symptoms.
HRMC has a partnership agreement with Family Service Agency in Little Rock, Arkansas, for victims of sexual assault. The nurses and physicians in the Emergency Department are skilled in the process of evidence collection and may provide preventative health care options. Through this program, survivors of sexual assault benefit from a healing environment and emotional support.
