Emergency Department
Foothill Regional Medical Center provides our community with a 24/7 paramedic-receiving emergency department (ED) conveniently located on Newport Avenue. The ED is located behind the main hospital.
While you can’t predict an emergency, if and when one does occur, our emergency department physicians, nurses and support staff are committed to providing you with timely, personalized care in a comforting environment. Our ED is often the initial point of care for our patients, so the welcome and treatment our patients receive is of utmost importance to us.
In fact, our goal is to treat you, not seat you. As a result, we have high patient satisfaction scores at or above the 90th percentile.
