Is It Safe to Come To the ER During the COVID Crisis?
We understand coming to the ER during this uncertain time can be confusing, but we want you to know we are committed to providing safe, high-quality and compassionate care when you need us most.
If you are experiencing a medical emergency, do not be afraid to come to the Mercy ER for immediate care. We have implemented additional procedures to help ensure your safety. Delaying the evaluation, diagnosis and treatment of a potential emergency condition can put you at greater risk – particularly for those with symptoms of stroke and heart attack.
