It is truly my pleasure to introduce you to our Department, our services, and our faculty. Founded in 2014, our department has grown remarkably from a few dedicated faculty members to one of the largest clinical departments in the health system. Simply put, our vision is extraordinary, and we would love to share it with you.

Our more than 260 faculty physicians, residents, and advanced practice providers currently provide care to over 350,000 patients a year in seven Emergency Departments.
