A Message About our Emergency Department

  • Category: News
  • Posted On:

Please SHARE with LOVED ones. Our Emergency Department is significantly impacted this afternoon as we work to care for our community. Wait times are exceptionally long, particularly for those who are not in need of life-saving care. Due to limited space, we are also unable to accommodate visitors in the ED at this time. Please do not hesitate to come in for emergency care, but keep in mind that we see patients according to the severity of their injury or illness – patients with life-threatening illnesses and injuries are given priority.

Here are some other options for care at this time:

1 Urgent Care – Please consider visiting our Urgent Care centers or any others open this afternoon in our community. While our Urgent Care centers are also very busy today, visit www.kaweahhealth.org/urgentcare first to see if there is availability to be seen today. If your illness or injury is severe, you may be able to be seen on a walk-in basis by visiting the following locations in person:

-1633 S. Court St., Visalia, CA 93277

Open today until 10 p.m.

-3600 W. Flagstaff Ave., Visalia, CA 93291

Open today until 7 p.m.

2 Your Doctor – If you need care, please reach out to your physician’s office. If they are unable to see you today, and you can wait until tomorrow, you may want to reach out to them first thing tomorrow morning. If you cannot wait until tomorrow to be seen, please visit an Urgent Care or the nearest Emergency Department.
