Emergency
Care Facility
 The
145,000 square foot Emergency Care Facility, opened
in 1991, includes the state-of-the-art Emergency Medical
Services unit and several medical department offices.
The first of eight stories
is occupied by the hospital's 17,000 square foot Emergency
Medical Services unit. This facility combines advanced
treatment and patient monitoring systems with the expertise
of highly trained emergency medicine professionals.
The unit, nearly triple the size of the previous emergency
room, further enhances Loyola University Medical Center's
role as the only Level 1 adult and pediatric trauma
center for Region 8 of the state of Illinois trauma
network.
The
Emergency Medical Services unit is composed of
more than 20 patient diagnostic and treatment
areas. These areas include six rooms devoted to
trauma and five rooms to emergency cardiac cases;
one psychiatric and four general medicine treatment
rooms; areas devoted to orthopaedic, obstetric,
gynecologic and eye, ear, nose and throat services;
and three minor surgery suites and radiographic
rooms. A separate treatment and waiting area for
children and their families is available.
Also located in the
Emergency Care Facility are medical department
offices that include surgery,
pathology,
thoracic
and cardiovascular surgery, cardiology
and organ acquisition. |
