UH Lake West Emergency Department

The UH Lake West Emergency Department is designed to make our patients and their families our top priority. From the latest life-saving technology to privacy and comfort, the features represent our commitment to care. UH Lake West Medical Center has been designated as a provisional Level 3 Trauma Center, increasing local access to trauma services.

Wait times at ERs across the area are longer than usual right now. If you are planning a visit to the emergency department because of COVID-19, learn more about getting care. If you’re sick or injured, the best place to go for care depends on your symptoms and how soon you need treatment. Many non-life-threatening conditions can be treated at an urgent care, doctor’s office or virtually. UH E-Visits are available virtually seven days a week, from 7 am to 11 pm. Always call 911 for an ambulance in an emergency. First responders can start treatment in your home or on the way to the emergency department.
