Emergency Department
   
When seconds count, you'll find our Emergency Department equipped with highly qualified and trained doctors, nurses, and staff and state-of-the-art technology offering MRI, ultrasound, Spiral CT scans, echocardiograms, and a 24-hour laboratory.

Whether you've had an accident, you're experiencing heart attack symptoms, or your child has broken an arm . . . from cuts to scrapes to critical care, NVH exceeds the standards in providing emergency care.

For example, do you know and understand the warning signs of heart attack? Heart attacks are treatable, but only if the patient gets to the hospital right after the onset of symptoms. The first step towards surviving a heart attack is understanding the warning signs. These can be subtle or mild, and include dull pain or pressure in the chest, left shoulder, neck, or arm, shortness of breath, profuse sweating, or nausea or vomiting. Any of these symptoms are an indication that you should get help immediately. Emergency services, right in your community – help when you need it in seconds – can make all the difference.

And, at NVH you'll have less wait, less worry and receive more care. We provide prompt and thorough evaluation of your condition within minutes - including tracking of your treatment in the ED from arrival to dismissal. And with a 4-star national ranking, our ED offers care you can trust.

In addition to our central Whitefish location, if you should need emergency services while skiing in the winter on Big Mountain, our NVH Day Lodge Clinic is available to serve you.
