A full-service emergency department staffed and ready around the clock for the people of Tulsa and greater Oklahoma.
About This Service
When minutes matter, the team is ready
Emergencies don't wait. Our Emergency Department is being built around the principle that every patient who walks, rolls, or is wheeled through our doors deserves immediate evaluation, accurate triage, and care delivered without delay — regardless of the hour, the season, or the circumstance.
Because we are an integrated hospital, our ED is more than a treatment room: it's the entry point to every other service line. A patient arriving in withdrawal can be admitted to detox. A patient in psychiatric crisis can be transitioned to behavioral health. A patient with a newly identified chronic condition leaves with a family medicine follow-up already scheduled. The work doesn't end at discharge.
What we'll handle
- Acute medical emergencies. Cardiac events, respiratory distress, stroke symptoms, severe injuries, and other time-sensitive conditions.
- Trauma and injury. Wounds, fractures, burns, and accidents requiring immediate evaluation.
- Severe illness. High fevers, infections, dehydration, and acute exacerbations of chronic conditions.
- Behavioral health emergencies. Crisis evaluation with rapid handoff to our Behavioral Health Unit when needed.
- Substance-related emergencies. Overdose response and direct access to medically supervised detox.
- Pediatric emergencies. Care for children of all ages, with the calm and clarity that families need in stressful moments.
When to come to the ED
If you are experiencing chest pain, difficulty breathing, signs of stroke (face drooping, arm weakness, speech difficulty), severe bleeding, sudden confusion, severe pain, suicidal thoughts, or any condition you believe is life-threatening — come to the Emergency Department or call 911 immediately. When in doubt, get evaluated. That's what we're here for.
Our approach
Emergency medicine at its best is fast, accurate, and human. Our teams are being assembled to deliver all three. We treat every patient with the urgency the situation requires and the dignity every person deserves — no matter why they came in or how they arrived.
