 Now more than ever, we want you to feel safe coming to Mid-Michigan Health Emergency Departments to seek your emergency care. As an emergency physician, I want to remind you of some symptoms that should prompt you to seek emergency care right away. If you're having chest pain, especially if this is new or different chest pain than you've ever had before, you should seek care immediately. If you have any symptoms of stroke such as numbness or weakness in an arm or a leg or facial droop or difficulty speaking, call 911 immediately. Remember that in these two circumstances, time is of the essence. Every minute counts and our treatments are more effective if we can start them earlier. Also, if you should have an accident or other mishap and you fear that you may have broken a bone or you have a cut that needs attention, please come to the emergency department right away so we can take care of. I understand that there's a lot of concern around the current COVID-19 pandemic. I want to assure you that we are taking extra precautions and all of our staff has been trained to prevent the spread as much as possible. We have a special triage process where every patient that comes to the emergency department is screened. Anyone with respiratory symptoms has a separate waiting area. We have increased disinfection in all of our patient care areas. All of our staff is wearing masks and appropriate PPE to make sure that both you and they are protected. Thank you for entrusting us with your care. Remember, we're here for you. Mid-Michigan Health is your go-to place for emergency care.
