Mercy Fitzgerald Emergency Department
Hours
Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital offers the latest facilities for dealing with emergency situations. Our physicians, nurses and support staff are specially trained in emergency medicine. Our facilities feature comfortable waiting and patient rooms, along with state-of-the-art medical technology.
For those emergencies with unique demands—such as burns, labor in obstetrical patients, severe trauma or spinal cord injuries—patients are rapidly stabilized and transferred via ambulance to the appropriate care facility.
Unique features at the Mercy Fitzgerald Emergency Department include:
- Certified Chest Pain Center and Primary Stroke Center
- Special FastTrack services for walk-in, less-urgent medical needs
- A dedicated Emergency Medical Service, which serves Delaware County and Southwest Philadelphia
- Medication assisted treatment for interested patients with opiate dependence
FastTrack Services
For added convenience, Mercy Fitzgerald and Mercy Philadelphia offer a FastTrack service for walk-in, non-urgent patients to reduce waiting times.
FastTrack is backed by Emergency Department physicians and is staffed by certified registered nurse practitioners and physician assistants to provide non-urgent medical care with less waiting than in the ER.
