Emergency Services

We’re prepared to treat your emergency 24x7

Mary Washington Hospital, Stafford Hospital and our Emergency and Outpatient Center at Lee's Hill offer full-service emergency care 'round the clock, 365 days a year.

Our emergency departments are staffed with teams of board-certified emergency medicine physicians and emergency-trained registered nurses experienced in handling every aspect of emergency care, including resuscitation, medical emergencies, pain relief, fractures and soft tissue injuries.
Care is managed through a nationally recognized system (RATED-ER) created by our physicians and nurses that allows us to care for the most critically ill patients, while at the same time providing timely care for patients who can be treated and sent home.

We can help you when you need us for:

• Abdominal (Stomach) Pain
• Animal bites
• Difficulty breathing/Wheezing
