It's three in the morning and your baby burns with fever...
Your spouse suffers from chest pains after dinner...
An elderly parent awakens with breathing difficulties...
These are just a handful of reasons that bring members of our community to the Emergency Department at Christ Hospital. As the premier healthcare facility in Hudson County, we pride ourselves on having a qualified and caring staff and state-of-the-art technology to provide the best medical care available to our community---24 hours, seven days a week.
The Emergency Department staff at Christ Hospital responds to those with the most serious acute cases, treating all others in accordance with the severity of their illness or injury. Top priority is given to individuals in a life-threatening situation, such as cardiac arrest, respiratory distress, unstable vital signs or severe injury. Also taking precedence are urgent conditions which are not immediately life-threatening, such as chest pain, a severe allergic reaction, or a stabilized serious injury.
From routine emergency care to serious trauma, Christ Hospital meets the diverse needs of more than 42,000 treated in our Emergency Department each year...
