What to Expect

We use a process called triage to determine which patients need the most immediate medical attention. Patients with the most urgent medical conditions are seen first, regardless of arrival time.

When you arrive to the hospital, a nurse will take your vital signs and assess the severity of your condition. If you need a lower level of care, you will be seen in Urgent Care. 

Registration is completed after the triage process for emergency care in McLeod County.
