Emergency Services

Forsyth Medical Center opened the doors to its 55,000 square foot emergency department (ED) in 2004. Doubling the size of the old ED now makes this the largest in the state, with six specially designed units able to treat up to 110,000 patients each year.

Forsyth Medical Center offers advanced emergency services to ensure rapid response and treatment in any situation. In addition to expert emergency medicine physicians, nurses and technologists, our facilities are equipped with patient monitoring systems, X-ray technology, on-site labs and surgical suites.

 

Treatment of Minor Emergencies

Treatment of minor health-related issues such as minor injuries or illnesses.

Blood Transfusion

The process of transferring blood or blood-based products from one person into the circulatory system of another. Blood transfusions can be life-saving in some situations, such as massive blood loss due to trauma, or can be used to replace blood lost during surgery.

 

Sexual Assault Services

Specialized services offered through the Emergency Department to provide quality, compassionate care to all survivors of violence. A Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) is a registered nurse who has received specialized training in the care and treatment of survivors of sexual assault. In addition to providing compassionate care to survivors, SANEs collect forensic evidence and may be called as an expert witness in court cases.

Critical Care Transport

Critical Care Transport takes critically ill patients from one hospital to another for treatment. The mobile unit and its special treatment team respond quickly to calls. Intensive care treatment begins immediately upon arrival at the referring hospital and continues during transport.

X-ray

An x-ray is a diagnostic test which uses invisible electromagnetic energy beams to produce images of internal tissues, bones and organs onto film.

Rapid Chest Response in Emergency Department

Knowing and recognizing the warning signs of a heart attack and getting to the Emergency Department immediately will improve your chances of survival and recovery. At the Chest Pain Emergency Department, patients are triaged quickly and then evaluated by a board-certified cardiologist. This rapid treatment response has proven to increase survival rates for heart attack patients.

Biopsy

A biopsy is a procedure in which tissue samples are removed (with a needle or during surgery) from the body for examination under a microscope; to determine if cancer or other abnormal cells are present.
