Our emergency room offers full-scale diagnostic and treatment capabilities, utilizing an advanced on-site laboratory, multi-modality medical imaging, and dedicated critical care rooms. When severe medical crises require a higher tier of intervention, our department features direct, seamless access to the Mountain Area Medical Airlift (MAMA) helicopter system, ensuring 24/7 rapid critical air transport straight to Mission Hospital’s Level II Trauma Center in Asheville. Our clinical team works with urgent, synchronized precision to create a highly responsive care environment where patient stabilization, accurate diagnostics, and efficient coordination are paramount.
