The 20,000-square-foot center is equipped to treat adults and children who have suffered cuts, sports injuries, accidents, dehydration, strokes and heart attacks. The center, which houses state-of-the-art imaging equipment, including a CT scanner, ultrasound and x-ray machines, also cares for people with emergency abdominal pain, breathing problems and more.
The center, just south of the Sawgrass Expressway, provides another option to hospital-located emergency departments in North Broward and South Palm Beach counties. Patients who need to be admitted to the hospital would be treated and stabilized at the outpatient center, then transferred to West Boca Medical Center, according to the new ER’s website.
More than 200 physicians on West Boca’s medical staff also will be accessible from the Coconut Creek emergency center.
The website claims the center will offer reduced wait times compared to hospital emergency departments. In fact, those who don’t have life-threatening emergencies can make their appointments online and spend their wait time in the comfort of their homes.
