ER in Zephyrhills

When To Head to the Closest Emergency Room

If you’re faced with sudden pain that comes out of nowhere, severe burns, poisoning, broken bones, stroke or anything else you think could be life-threatening, don't hesitate to get ER care. Call 911 immediately to be taken to the nearest emergency room if you experience any of the following:

• Complicated fractures
• Deep wounds
• Extreme difficulty breathing
• Major head injury
• Poisoning
• Severe allergic reactions
• Severe burns
• Suspected heart attack
• Suspected stroke
• Vomiting or coughing up blood

Get Care Quickly for Heart Attacks

Sometimes heart attacks can be hard to identify. If you experience chest discomfort, pain in your upper body, shortness of breath, nausea, or lightheadedness, be safe and call 911 immediately. When you get to our Zephyrhills ER, our Chest Pain Center will be open and our emergency care team is trained in rapid emergency treatment of heart attacks.

What to Expect When You Visit the Zephyrhills ER

We know you have lots of questions and our calm, knowledgeable emergency room staff members are here to answer every single one patiently and thoughtfully. We’ll have a few questions for you, too. We’ll ask for some basic information like your medical history and the reason for your visit. We’ll also check your vital signs so we can decide how best to help you moving forward.

We use a process called triage to help us determine the order in which we treat patients in the ER. This means someone suffering from a suspected stroke may receive care before someone not in a critical condition, even if that person arrived earlier. We do all we can to keep emergency room wait times as short as possible for everyone. You can trust that we’re fully committed to your care, and that our experienced team will do all they can to help bring you efficient emergency medical treatments.

To prepare for an emergency situation, you may want to consider keeping an information card with you at all times, perhaps in your wallet or purse. Helpful information includes the name of your primary care physician, a list of your medications and drug allergies, and an advance directive like a power of attorney or health care proxy.

Not all conditions require a trip to the nearest emergency room. When you need care for a minor ailment like hives or flu, you can visit one of our local urgent care centers. With convenient hours and a highly skilled team of medical specialists, we’re ready to help you find relief from a range of illnesses and injuries, including:

• Allergic reactions and hives
• Cold, flu and common illnesses
• Cuts that need stitches
• Disease management
• Minor cuts (onsite stitches available)
• Rashes
• Sprains, strains and fractures
• Stomach and digestive conditions

In urgent care, you can also receive preventive care like vaccinations, screenings and annual physical exams. Because you deserve convenient care that’s simple, we accept most major insurance plans and don’t require you to schedule an appointment. We’re here to support you in a life of greater health — both now and in the future.

To provide a health care experience that works for you, we’ve created video visits that allow you to speak with a doctor or nurse practitioner virtually from your own home if you're experiencing a minor ailment. All you need is an internet connection and an electronic device such as a laptop, smartphone or tablet. Our doctors can help with a range of minor ailments, including:

• Conjunctivitis (pink eye)
