Emergency Trauma Unit

Skagit Valley Hospital features a Level III trauma unit with 23 patient beds. Our new Emergency Department includes two triage rooms, two trauma rooms, two major medical resuscitation rooms and two behavioral health rooms. All rooms are private and universal.

More than 32,000 patients visited the ER in 2010. Located near the busy Interstate 5 corridor, the department averages 50 trauma cases per month. Our patient registration staff offers bedside registration for our patients to reduce wait times. 

The department is staffed by a dedicated group of emergency physicians and nurses, with support of advanced diagnostics and additional services within the full-service hospital. In addition, our patients benefit from the higher level of stroke care as a result of our partnership with Swedish Neuroscience Institute and the TeleStroke program. Our emergency department physicians and nurses are linked directly with a Swedish Acute Stroke Telemedicine Team.
