Buffalo Hospital's Emergency Care Saves Lives Tom Burling thought he had heart burn. But when it proved to be a heart attack, he was fortunate to be within minutes of an emergency room.
Watch his story of survival.
Go to the nearest hospital emergency room (ER) or call 911 when medical care is needed immediately to preserve life or avoid permanent harm.
Occurrences like broken bones, heart attacks and strokes require on-the-spot medical attention.
A trip to the ER also is recommended for severe abdominal pain, head injuries, high fevers, difficulty breathing, severe eye injuries, carbon monoxide exposure, sudden blindness, complicated or deep cuts and other conditions.
Twenty-four hours a day you’ll find dedicated doctors, nurses and technicians, along with full-service imaging and laboratory services and we're easy to find.
We also have a wide range of specialists including orthopedics on call for emergency treatment.
When your condition isn't life threatening, but still requires immediate treatment, our Urgent Care Center is available weekday evenings and weekends. InstyMeds, an automated system that dispenses prescription medications for emergency and urgent care patients, is available around the clock.
