Emergency Care

What is Emergency Room (ER) Care and when should you use it?

A visit to the ER is indicated if you are having sudden severe pain or a sudden onset of other symptoms that would cause an average person to feel that a delay in seeking medical help would be hazardous to your life or seriously harm your health, a body part or bodily function. Examples of emergency medical conditions include but are not limited to: chest pain or heart attack; stroke, weakness or numbness on one side; severe burns, bleeding, or pain; head injuries or loss of consciousness; difficulty breathing; possible poisoning; convulsions; or any life threatening or disabling condition.

SeaView IPA's primary admitting hospitals are listed below. While most of our specialists/surgeons have privileges at all three of these hospitals, the hospital used for your care may depend on which health plan you are in and/or the admitting physician, surgeon or specialist's primary affiliation and office location.

***Please note that all hospitals referenced on this website have an affiliation with SeaView IPA for inpatient care. However, such affiliation may not apply to all health plans.
