Following an $8.5 million expansion, our 26-room Emergency Room treats more than 44,000 patients annually, and is staffed 24-hours-a-day with board certified emergency medicine physicians, nurses and technicians who are specially trained in:
• Advanced Cardiac Life Support
• Trauma Nursing Core Curriculum
• Pediatric Advanced Life Support
• Neonatal/Resuscitation
Patients come to the Emergency Room for any number of injuries and illnesses – ranging from the life threatening heart attacks and accidents to minor respiratory illnesses and muscle strains. That’s why our Emergency Room offers major, minor and Fast Track treatment areas designed to help patients get the care they need when they need it.
Fast Track
Our Fast Track service treats patients with minor illnesses or injuries quickly and efficiently. The Fast Track is located in the ER and is open from 9 am - 1 am, seven days a week.
InQuickER Service
InQuickER, is a web-based program that allows users to schedule a time online for an ER visit. Think of it as a placeholder—rather than having to physically wait in the ER, consumers are given the opportunity to wait in the comfort of their own home.
Patients can now hold a place online by clicking here, paying a fee of $9.99, completing an online form, and arriving at the projected treatment time. Patients will be seen by a health professional in the emergency room within 15 minutes, or InQuickER will refund their online fee in full. InQuickER has designed safeguards in its system intended to prevent those who have potentially life-threatening medical conditions from using the InQuickER service.
This service is available daily from 11 am– 11 pm.
If you think you are experiencing a heart attack, stroke or other serious medical condition, call 911 for emergency assistance.
Just off I-85 and minutes from downtown Atlanta, Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport and the communities of East Point, College Park, Hapeville, Camp Creek and Forth McPherson, South Fulton Medical Center’s Emergency Department is easy to locate no matter your emergency.
