If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency, go directly to the ER or dial 911.

Connected to specialized follow-up care
Your care doesn’t stop when you leave the ER. If you require hospitalization, we will transfer you to a hospital where you’ll receive more advanced care with an experienced specialist. And, because we’re more than emergency care, you will be connected to follow-up care to support your care plan and recovery. We connect you to specialists in cardiology, orthopedics, oncology, behavioral health, neurology, and more. Your care team also helps you manage your medications and sends prescriptions to your local pharmacy or through Ascension Rx. And you will always have access to other services at Ascension St. John, like imaging and lab.
