24-HOUR EMERGENCY CARE
CHA provides expert 24-hour emergency care at each
hospital campus - Cambridge, Somerville, and Whidden. Combined,
our emergency teams now care for more than 85,000 patients each
year.
Our well-trained staff, led by Chief of Emergency
Medicine, Assad Sayah, MD, includes over 30 doctors board-certified
in Emergency Medicine. They are supported by a team of caring nurses
and physician assistants who come from backgrounds as diverse as
the patients we serve.
Service highlights include:
New Emergency Department at the CHA Whidden
Hospital campus. In 2007, CHA opened a state-of-the-art
Emergency department at the Whidden campus with new waiting rooms,
triage areas, and exam rooms. This important investment is helping
Whidden become one of the premier community hospitals in Eastern
Massachusetts.
Emergency Care for Children. Pediatric
emergency care is available at all three campuses. The CHA Cambridge
campus has special pediatric exam rooms and pediatric residents
from MA General Hospital working on site 24-hours a day.
Psychiatry Emergency Care. The CHA Cambridge
campus has a separate Psychiatric ER which helps people in severe
emotional distress.
