Madera Community Hospital provides Emergency services 24 hour per day, 7 days per week. Our 16
bed Level III Emergency Department receives over 30,000 patient visits annually at Madera
Community Hospital. The emergency department handles everything from the diagnosis of illness
to major trauma to those minor cuts and scrapes that happen to all of us. The emergency department
is staffed by board-certified emergency physicians and nurses trained in Emergency Medicine. We
work closely with local rescue personnel to provide quality patient care seven days a week.
The Emergency Department uses a unique "triage" process where patients are seen by a doctor or
nurse practitioner in a very quick manner, usually faster than most hospitals in our area. Once
entering the Emergency Department, most patients are seen by a practitioner in less than 30 minutes.
