What to Expect in Our ER
When coming to the Emergency Department you will be asked for your name, address, 出生日期, 电话号码, 保险, Medicare or Medicaid card, employer or employer of the person whose 保险 card you are using. Also you will be asked to name and give a tele电话号码 for a responsible person and person to notify regarding your situation. If you are a minor, you will need a parent or guardian to sign for your treatment.
What are Advanced Directives?
Advanced Directives are documents you sign to tell doctors, nurses and others about your wishes regarding your medical care and treatment, or to name someone to speak for you if you are unable to make decisions or choices about your medical care.
If you have Advanced Directives (Living Will, Health Care Power of Attorney or Advanced Instruction for Mental Health Treatment), please bring those with you when you come to the hospital.
If you do not have an Advanced Directive and want one, someone at the hospital can provide these forms to you at no cost - just ask.
Helicopter Transportation
How is the Emergency Helicopter Transport Used?
Person Memorial Hospital contracts with all surrounding hospitals that offer helicopter service. The two helicopters used most often are Duke University Medical Center’s LifeFlight™, and UNC Hospital’s 空气护理.
The Emergency Department physician, in consultation with the patient or patient's family, determines use of the helicopter. Helicopters are used for the most critically injured or sickest patients, who need critical care monitoring as they are transported to a tertiary care hospital for critical care services.
