For life’s medical emergencies, we are here – close to home.
When you experience a medical emergency, every minute counts. At Onvida Health, we are dedicated to providing the timely, high-quality emergency care you need. Our emergency departments are equipped with advanced technologies and staffed by board-certified emergency physicians 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Upon arrival, patients are assessed by a care provider to determine the severity and type of your medical issue. Some patients may be treated before you and/or others waiting in order to provide the emergent, often life-saving care for serious conditions such as heart attacks, strokes or trauma injuries from car accidents. We are committed to treating all patients with timely care and compassion based on individual needs and medical conditions.
Care for less serious illnesses or injuries is available for established patients at our Walk-In Clinic Foothills.
