Q: What is the difference between Memorial Village Emergency Room and that of Hospital emergency rooms in Houston, TX?
A: Memorial Village Emergency Room provides quality medical care without the long wait you often find at Hospital-based emergency rooms in heavily populated cities such as Houston. The overcrowding and long waits at many Hospital Emergency Rooms is partially due to so many people using them for non-emergency care. As a result of that and the fast-growing population, plus other factors, Hospital emergency rooms face a shortage of on-call specialists and inpatient beds. You can experience long wait times and prolonged Hospital stays when treated at such Hospital emergency rooms.
B: Memorial Village Emergency Room is not a division of a Hospital. We are a 24 hour freestanding emergency room in Houston staffed with Board Certified Emergency Medicine Physicians and Nurses. We are equipped to provide prompt medical care for any emergency and we do not keep our patients waiting.
