Emergency Department

LifeCare Medical Center’s Emergency Department (ED) is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. 365 days a year. Our ED has been designated by the Minnesota Department of Health as a Level IV Trauma Center and Acute Stroke Ready Hospital.

Upon arrival to the Emergency Department, you will be seen by a Registered Nurse who will determine the seriousness of your condition. A physician staffed by Wapiti Medical Group is always on duty in our ED, along with specially trained nurses.

When an emergency situation arises, our skilled professionals and state-of-the-art technology are ready to help. We are equipped with ambulances to transport patients to the hospital and on to specialty care when needed. We have a helicopter-landing pad in the event that a situation requires air transfer.

We provide medical/trauma care, crisis intervention, and client education in a caring and confidential environment.

Since it is difficult to assess an illness or injury over the telephone, our staff will not give medical advice over the phone. Please check the back of your insurance card for a nurse hotline number for specific questions. If you have an emergency come to the ED to be seen by a medical provider.

Always call 911 in an emergency situation!

Crisis Intervention

Crisis intervention involves an assessment by a Registered Nurse and a Physician, Physician Assistant or Nurse Practitioner. Afterward, an exam by a trained member of the Roseau County Crisis Response Team and/or referral to a specialist in behavioral health may be done.
