Emergency Services

The Emergency team has the experience and expertise to provide the best care for urgent and emergent care.

The 10-bed, Level III Trauma Center, is staffed by board certified physicians, mid-level practitioners and registered nurses 24 hours a day. Meeting the demand of a growing community, our Emergency department has over 20,000 visits a year.

Patients are seen in the Emergency department depending on the severity of condition first, then on a first-come, first-serve basis for non-emergent conditions. Note that ambulances have priority to patient placement in the Emergency department. Patients who need laboratory work, x-rays, ultrasounds or CT scan, can expect to wait between 30-70 minutes for results and interpretation.

In addition to the full-time emergency physicians who staff the hospital's emergency department, many independent physicians maintain an on-call schedule and provide specialty medical services when emergency situations arise. Specialists who maintain coverage for the hospital include internal medicine, surgery, radiology, obstetrics, neurology and cardiology to name a few.

Bozeman Deaconess Hospital also has a number of special services, qualified technicians and staff to support emergent efforts. These specialty areas include imaging, laboratory and respiratory services, which are available 24 hours a day.
