Emergency Services

Glens Falls Hospital’s traditional emergency area has been renovated and expanded with specialized areas for trauma, cardiac, pediatric, women’s health, orthopedic, eye injury, behavioral health and all medical emergencies.

In addition to ExpressCare and the Clinical Decision Unit, the Emergency Care Center provides 14 private rooms for more seriously ill patients. Six critical care rooms are designed for state-of-the-art treatment of major trauma and eight rooms are designated for intermediate care. All rooms have cardiac monitoring so that patients with chest pain can receive intervention immediately, including "clot busters” for those suffering from heart attack. Two clinical rooms are designed for children, providing soft lighting and rocking chairs where parents can provide comfort.

The waiting area includes space for children with video tapes and toys. Also, a quiet, private waiting area is available for families of patients who are critically ill.
