Comprehensive Emergency Care

Emergency medicine demands constant vigilance to quality, efficiency and technologically-advanced resources. You will find all of these at The David S. and Janet R. Sheridan Emergency Department at Glens Falls Hospital.

Our 43-bed center is one of the busiest in northeastern New York, providing care to more than 46,000 patients annually. Our staff and services are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for any medical situation. Our comprehensive and coordinated approach to emergency services allows us to deliver more efficient care in a manner that best meets the needs of our patients and families.

Glens Falls Hospital is also designated as a NYS Stroke Center to improve the standard of quality and access to care for patients with a presumptive diagnosis of stroke. We offer immediate, enhanced brain imaging and evaluation for patients who present to the Emergency Department and could be suffering from a stroke or stroke symptoms.

Additionally, we are proud to be a recipient of the American Heart Association’s Mission: Lifeline Award. This means that our patients benefit from our focus on acute, high-risk, and time sensitive treatment as it relates to cardiac diseases. The AHA’s Mission: Lifeline program’s goal is to reduce system barriers to prompt treatment for heart attacks, beginning with the 9-1-1 call and continuing through hospital treatment.

We also have a Sexual Assault Forensic Examiner (SAFE) team that is here for you every step of the way. Our goal is to help answer your questions, support your decisions, and provide you with expert care. Our team at Glens Falls Hospital is made up of Registered Nurses who hold this certification.
