The Cambridge Medical Center emergency room (ER) is a Level IV Trauma Center. This means we have the expertise and resources to provide a high level of 24/7 emergency care near you.
We treat a range of conditions, including severe chest pain, breathing problems, heavy bleeding and sudden or severe pain.
Using advanced technology, our highly trained staff are experts in resuscitating and stabilizing critically ill and injured patients. Our board-certified emergency medicine doctors are the same doctors that provide emergency care at major Twin Cities hospitals.
Because we’re part of the Allina Health network of care, you have quick access to the same neurologists, cardiologists, psychiatrists, pediatricians and other specialists that are available in larger metro hospitals. And because we’re your local hospital, you can expect patient-centered care from a committed team that knows your community.
Upon arrival, your condition is assessed, so patients with the most urgent needs are seen first. We will quickly begin tests and treatment. Once stabilized, you may be released to go home or be admitted to the hospital. If you need additional critical care, we will quickly and safely transport you to a higher-level critical care hospital.
Assessment and referral is a hospital-based service that responds to mental health or substance abuse crisis. Services are provided in the hospital emergency department 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Cambridge Medical Center is designated stroke ready by the state of Minnesota. That means we are prepared to evaluate, stabilize and provide life-saving emergency treatment to patients who exhibit symptoms of stroke. Learn the signs of stroke.
