The Emergency Department at Glacial Ridge Hospital is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and our hospital is a Level IV Trauma Center. We are committed to providing our patients the highest quality of emergency care and service in an efficient and timely manner. Our team of compassionate board-certified doctors, emergency-trained physician assistants, registered nurses, and other specialty care staff are available at all times. You can feel confident about the emergency care you receive here at home.
By implementing leading edge technologies such as Telestroke, eEmergency, ePharmacy, and Electronic Medical Records, our patients have a great advantage. With 24-hour access, the local care team can rely on highly-trained experts for support and collaboration when treating trauma, heart attack, stroke and other critical conditions.
Around-the-clock eEmergency provides our attending physician and nurses immediate access to board-certified emergency physicians and registered nurses. When needed, the support and collaboration our local providers receive from the eEmergency team at Sioux Falls-based Avera Health System enhances patient care and efficiency. Many patients and their families further benefit by receiving advanced medical care here, circumventing transfers to a metropolitan hospital. When a higher level of care is needed, the eEmergency team assists our local staff in arranging and expediting seamless transfers whether by ambulance or helicopter, decreasing time to arrival.
Glacial Ridge Hospital provides the highest level of stroke care in the region through HealthEast's Telestroke program, a first of its kind in Minnesota. Our staff has immediate access to stroke neurologists for patients suffering acute strokes. For patients, it means they receive a more rapid diagnosis and triage to the most appropriate therapy before the critical treatment time passes. By partnering with the experts at HealthEast - St. Joseph's Hospital in St. Paul, this state-of-the-art technology enables more patients to stay close to home while receiving the same level of stroke care from a nationally accredited stroke center. When transfer is necessary for advanced care, expert assistance is already in place.
