A medical emergency can be among the most frightening times in life. Whether you are feeling tightness in your chest or you have a child who has just suffered a fall, we realize as health care providers and as people just like you, that the last thing you want to do is wait during an emergency.

Orange Coast Memorial Medical Center is committed to bringing the highest quality emergency care to the members of our community. With added focus on timeliness and compassionate service, we will exceed your emergency room expectations.

To help in this process, we invite you to sign up for the Medical Information and Access Card (MIAC.) In a medical emergency, when time is precious, MIAC can help give crucial information to the medical providers who are caring for you. In addition, the card is recognized by area urgent care centers and emergency medical personnel.

In a medical emergency, the last thing you want to do is wait.

In an emergency, seconds can make a life-altering difference. At Orange Coast Memorial Medical Center, more than 80 percent of our emergency department patients are seen by a physician in less than 30 minutes. This is well below the national average of about 45 minutes and substantially less than most hospitals in California.

Each of our emergency physicians is board-certified with more than 15 years experience as emergency medicine practitioners.

Our entire staff from physicians and nurses, to lab and X-ray technicians and receptionists, work diligently to provide high-quality, compassionate care in an efficient manner.
