Services

Community Health Network's state-of-the-art emergency departments are attached to award-winning hospitals, giving you access to a full spectrum of services and specialists. We are staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week for walk-in visits, emergencies and ambulance runs.

We strive to provide a prompt and accurate diagnosis based on qualified assessments and clinical tests, and prescribe the appropriate course of care. With the full resources of our staff and hospitals, we have a variety of advanced testing procedures and specialists available if needed.

If you are experiencing heart attack, stroke or other emergency symptoms, please call 9-1-1.

We also offer the Center of Hope for victims of violence, abuse or neglect, especially sexual assault and interpersonal violence.

If your care need is NOT an emergency, do not go to an ER. Please schedule an appointment at a Community urgent care location, including MedChecks or Community Clinic at Walgreens here: care.eCommunity.com/search. Virtual care is available daily from 7am-11pm with Community providers. MyChart users also have e-visit and video visit options. Health insurance may be accepted for all these options.
