Even more impressive than their high volumes is the high level of competency I observed. The board-certified Emergency Medicine physician, advanced nurse practitioner, Chest Pain Center staff, clinical educator, child life specialist, and myriad other members of the ER team made me confident I was in capable and caring hands.

A dose of Emergency Medicine
Whew! St. Joseph Hospital's Emergency Department is one active place! On the day I came in, I was one of about 300 patients. Last year more than 101,000 patients were seen in this ER and so far this year the volume is higher than ever. Not only is this the busiest ER in Orange County, it is the third busiest ER in the entire state of California.
