What to Expect When You Visit AdventHealth Gordon ER
Emergencies can be confusing. You'll probably have many questions about what's happening and why. If you don’t understand something, don’t hesitate to ask. And if you have a concern, please voice it. We’ll have some questions for you, too — because we need all the facts to give you safe, effective treatment. To start off, we’ll ask for basic things like your medical history and the reason for your visit.

We want to bring you relief as quickly as possible, so when you come to the ER at AdventHealth Gordon we’ll have a nurse check your vital signs, then our specialized emergency room medical team will decide on the best way to care for you. If appropriate, we’ll help you fill out a registration form and discuss how we can help bring you healing. To bring you care faster, we offer bedside registration when appropriate.

It never hurts to be prepared, and you may want to consider keeping an information card in your wallet or purse. Some helpful information includes the name and number of your primary care physician, a list of medications and drug allergies, and advance directives like your health care proxy or the name of your power of attorney. The more we know, the better we can care for you.

Specialized OB Emergency Services

A health emergency during pregnancy requires a special level of care. That’s why we have the only Obstetric Emergency Department (OBED) in Northwest Georgia equipped to treat expectant moms and their babies. The OBED is an extension of our main emergency room and is staffed 24/7 with experienced OB hospitalists who are specialists in obstetric medicine.

The OBED treats pregnancy- and postpartum-related concerns like abdominal pain, preterm labor, preeclampsia, abnormal vaginal bleeding, ruptured membranes, labor checks, bladder infections, decreased fetal movement and increased blood pressure. It offers pregnant women immediate access to a physician at all hours. We hope you and your baby never need emergency care — but find peace of mind knowing we’re ready around the clock.
