Emergency Care Services

Expanded in Northwest Reno

TO MEET THE NEEDS OF OUR GROWING COMMUNITY, Northern Nevada Medical Center has opened a freestanding emergency department (FED), ER at McCarran NW. Located at 10290 N. McCarran Blvd., it is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Additionally, there are onsite laboratory services and diagnostic imaging including CT, X-ray and ultrasound.

“Our new facility expands access to care and provides a convenient option when seeking emergency services,” says Helen Lidholm, CEO of Northern Nevada Medical Center. “The FED will treat the same type of emergencies as a hospital emergency department, and we anticipate short wait times.”

What to Expect from the ER at McCarran NW

This FED provides treatment for serious, sometimes life-threatening emergency medical conditions including abdominal pain, chest pain, respiratory distress, broken bones or dislocated joints, serious infections, injuries, stroke symptoms, and more. Patients of all ages, from infants to seniors, are welcome for treatment. There is a pediatric treatment room to help little ones feel at ease. Critically ill patients can be treated and stabilized, and if hospital admission is warranted, the patient will be transferred to the hospital.

COVID-19 Protections in Place

The same protocols as our hospital in Sparks are in place at the FED. This includes thorough cleaning in between each patient, mandatory face coverings, screening will occur prior to entering the building, and social distancing will be required in all sitting areas and hallways.
