Emergency Medicine

Our Emergency Department (ED) is dedicated to providing the most advanced and personalized emergency medical care possible to every patient who comes through our doors. We care for nearly 60,000 patients each year (365 days a year and 24 hours a day), serving people from throughout the city of Boston, the commonwealth of Massachusetts, and New England.

Our board-certified emergency medicine physicians, with extensive experience in managing highly complex cases, collaborate with an expert in-house staff of emergency radiologists, trauma surgeons, critical care physicians, and a multidisciplinary team of medical and surgical specialists to provide the highest level of care for each patient. This broad expertise and experience is enhanced by access to the most advanced medical technologies and therapies.

Patient- and Family-Centered Emergency Medicine

As part of our goal to provide the best possible care for our patients, we recently developed a new patient- and family-centered model  and expanded our ED space. This new approach is designed to deliver efficient, personalized, high-quality care; improve patient satisfaction; and accommodate increasing patient volume. Watch "Future of the ED: Here Today" to learn about the thinking that went into our new emergency medicine process.
