The ER department is an emergency treatment facility that is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It is staffed with a physician or physician assistant and licensed registered nurses.

In addition to the regular medical staff, the ER physician staff is a group of highly qualified physicians who are trained to handle emergencies from minor lacerations to multiple traumas and cardiac emergencies.

These on-site physicians, who are employed through Wapiti Medical Group in Wisconsin, enable LifeCare Medical Center to operate an efficient emergency room around the clock.

Staff members in the ER are trained in Advanced Cardiac Life support (ACLS) and Comprehensive Advanced Life Support (CALS) or Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) and evaluate and treat patients of all ages and varying levels of illness from minor to critical.

The emergency department staff work with other hospital departments to ensure appropriate and timely diagnostic procedures.
