More than anything, you should be energetic and motivated to provide quality care to all of our patients, maintaining their dignity at every step.

Use emergency triage protocol to intake, discharge or admit patients.
Deliver stabilizing care to emergency patients of all ages as part of the larger ER team, adapting care to changes in patient’s condition as needed.
