View Hide Transcript
♪ [music] ♪

Patients come to the emergency department of Baptist
Health La Grange because we're obviously the closest.

We serve three counties.

If you have a true emergency,
you want to go to the closest ER,

and we're prepared to treat everything from trauma to
heart attacks to strokes to pediatrics

to orthopedic injuries.

We're prepared to treat everything.

Patients are seen...

Usually, they're seen within 10 minutes, you know,
by the triage nurse and very quickly.

I'm from Louisville and I tell all my friends that I
can make up their drive time in my waiting room

in a hurry.

So you're seen very quickly by physicians,
especially if you need to be seen.

Obviously, the sooner,
the better if it's a true emergency.

Patients coming here,
I think they can feel confident they're going to get

the best care.

They have the same quality physicians,
and nursing staff, and specialists that you do at the

bigger hospitals, but you get to see them very quickly.

I hope that the renovation will improve the patient's
experience by the fact that, you know,

they now have all private rooms so it's a much quieter,
much more inviting space that it will make

a difference, that, you know,
they'll feel more comfortable with it.

Wonderful to see that Baptist is investing in our
community so that we can provide, you know,

better service and quicker service to our patients.

So, you know, to watch how the ER has changed,
many years I've been, is wonderful.
