Often, a patient’s chief complaint in the emergency room isn’t about the illness or injury – it’s about the time it takes to be seen and treated. At Mountain Vista Medical Center, St. Luke’s Medical Center and Tempe St. Luke’s Hospital, our goal is to get you back to your life – faster.

Press Ganey, a leading national provider of patient satisfaction data, recently released its 2008 Emergency Department Pulse Report showing the average total time spent by patients in U.S. emergency rooms is now 4 hours and 5 minutes. Arizona ranked 48th in the nation with an even longer average length of stay of 5 hours, 15 minutes.

At these Valley hospitals, the average length of stay – which means the time you enter the ER until the time you leave – is nearly 3 hours faster than the state average.

With innovations in patient care, including bedside registration, fast track care for less serious illnesses and injuries, electronic medical records and computerized patient tracking systems, all three hospitals are committed to providing the prompt care patients expect in a medical emergency.

High quality care. Advanced technology. Friendly, caring environment. You can have faster and better emergency care.
