Emergency Department Campaign

Give the gift of good health by contributing to Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital Foundation's Emergency Department Campaign. Help us keep our promise to provide top-of-the-line, state-of-the-art healthcare to our community by contributing toward a much-needed expansion and upgrade of your local hospital.

A trip to the emergency room can be both frightening and stressful. Whether your child has broken a bone or a loved one has suffered a stroke, Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital has been there 24/7, 365 days a year to save lives and provide compassionate, quality healthcare. You don't plan on an emergency, but they do.

Built to handle 15,000 emergency room visits a year, the department now sees over 35,000 patients annually. The SNMHF Emergency Department Campaign will provide vital patient care and a compassionate experience for both patients and their loved ones.

An Emergency Room Transformation

Two new Rapid medical Exam rooms will handle less urgent cases and will reduce the average wait time.
The addition of two new beds will redirect ER flow and increase space for front-line triage staff.
The CT (computed tomography) machine will be moved closer to the ER to ensure immediate stroke treatment and care. The addition of an in-house MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) machine and other diagnostic imaging equipment will allow patients to stay in the same building for testing, will decrease overall wait time, and will greatly reduce patients needing to leave the community for care.
An additional room will provide a quiet, safe environment for patients in crisis.
A family counseling/grieving room will ensure peaceful privacy for families, healthcare providers and clergy when difficult discussions become necessary.
