Every patient who visits Mercy’s Emergency Room receives professional medical attention from an experienced emergency nurse and is seen personally by a board-certified physician or an emergency medicine physician assistant. On average, more than 200 people use Mercy’s ER every day for problems ranging in severity from the common cold to life-threatening heart attacks and potentially debilitating strokes.
