Penn State Hershey Emergency Medicine provides high quality and efficient care to all patients presenting to our Emergency Department. We care for over 50,000 patients per year. Nearly 20% of our patients require admission to the hospital, accounting for 40% of our hospital admissions. Pediatrics accounts nearly 20% of our visits.
We provide care to all patients who present to our Emergency Department independent of ability to pay. We are the safety net, meeting the urgent medical needs for our region. We work collaboratively as a team with physicians, physicians-in-training (residents), physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses, emergency technicians, secretarial and registration staff. Our goal is to provide outstanding patient care based upon the need of all patients.
