Emergency Services

---

Emergencies can happen at any time. That’s why it’s important to be prepared and know where to go for medical care. Moberly Regional Medical Center's emergency department is staffed by MU Health Care physicians, allowing access to high-level care in a medical crisis. Together, these teams provide medically necessary, quality care in an emergency.

The highly trained staff can provide care for a wide range of emergent conditions, from cuts and broken bones to life-threatening events such as heart attack or stroke. We provide efficient, compassionate care, and offer:

• X-ray and other imaging technology
• Emergency care specialists
• Trained orthopedic and plastic surgeons
• Wound care treatment

What you can expect when you come to our emergency room:

• When you arrive, an ER nurse will assess your condition (a process called "triage"), which helps staff to prioritize patients according to the severity of injury and illness. Patients with critical emergencies are seen first.
• Your vital signs will be taken during triage (temperature, heart rate, blood pressure), and you will be asked about your symptoms, name, address, medical history, medications list and drug allergies.
• The ER physician will examine you and evaluate your condition. Tests may be ordered such as EKG, X-ray, lab work or other diagnostic procedures as necessary.
• The ER physician will discuss your condition with you and provide necessary treatment.
• You will be admitted to the hospital, if necessary.
• Upon leaving, you will be asked to present your insurance information. We will file your insurance claims and handle all the paperwork. If you do not have insurance, we will expect payment for all services before you leave the hospital.
