Methodist Hospital is the leading provider of emergency care in South Philadelphia. As one of the Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals, we are committed to providing patients with the latest advancements in emergency treatment and technology.

Methodist’s Emergency Department is staffed by Jefferson Emergency Medicine physicians experienced in rapid identification and treatment for stroke, chest pain and other medical emergencies, including trauma.

Renovated in 2004, our 25 treatment rooms are outfitted with the most advanced monitoring equipment available – helping nurses and physicians monitor patients’ conditions in more sophisticated ways than ever before.

Methodist’s Emergency Department also offers the benefits of:

• 24-hour/7-day-a-week care
• Comfortable waiting area with a private area to speak to the triage nurse
• More private examining rooms
• On-site, dedicated X-ray and CT machines for more rapid testing and diagnosis
• Five Fast Track rooms for diagnosis and care of relatively routine emergencies (available 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., 7 days a week)

Patients with serious traumatic injuries are stabilized and transferred to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, a designated Level 1 Regional Resource Trauma Center.

In a true medical emergency, always go to the nearest emergency room or call 911.
