The Fastest Route to Emergency Care

ER VisitIf the thought of a long emergency room wait makes you ill at ease, think about choosing South Coast Medical Center the next time a crisis strikes. Here, you'll wait just 18 minutes on average to see an ER doctor. That's a fraction of the 47-minute national average.

But our commitment to treating emergencies doesn't stop there. Thanks to our life-saving Emergency Chest Pain and Stroke Programs, heart attack and stroke victims arriving at South Coast receive vital medications rapidly and safely.

Response times this fast are no accident. They take a total commitment to teamwork, training and technology. To that end, we spent $1.3 million to renovate our Emergency Department in the past two years.

You see, at South Coast Medical Center we're redefining emergency medicine. 24 hours a day. Seven days a week. For some 1,000 patients each month. Because here we know — when it comes to emergency care — time means everything.
