Emergency Services

In the practice of emergent care, time is everything. Parkridge Medical Center's Emergency Department, an Accredited Chest Pain Center, is located in downtown Chattanooga, only minutes away from most of the southeastern Tennessee and north Georgia areas we serve. Our accessibility is enhanced by ample, free parking, just steps away from the Emergency Department entrance. Our staff is dedicated to providing the highest quality care as quickly as possible.

The average emergency patient receives an assessment of his/her condition within 15 minutes of arrival. Bedside registration, which is completed following a physician assessment, is usually as simple as answering a few questions about insurance and copays.

Parkridge's emergency department has 19 patient rooms and provides many specialties including orthopedics, ENT, cardiovascular illness, injuries, minor trauma, acute illness, behavioral health and many others. Parkridge’s status as an Accredited Chest Pain center makes it a vital resource for those experiencing symptoms of heart attack. Those who have suffered major trauma may be stabilized at the Parkridge Emergency Department.  There are a number of processes in place to guarantee that patients receive the best treatment possible. Choose Parkridge to serve your emergent care needs.
