COVID-19 Update

If you have fever, cough or shortness of breath when you arrive at the Emergency Department:

  • Wear a mask and come into the Emergency Department to be registered.
  • Keep your mask on at all times.
  • You will not be able to have any visitors.

About Emergency Room

If you think you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 immediately.

The UAMS emergency department has spacious private rooms for both acute and nonacute patients. Our emergency room also features a general X-ray room and a CT. This means patients don’t have to be transported to another location for these imaging procedures.

The design of our department allows for more efficient care. With the advanced technology, more space, two nurses’ stations, and a better workflow, the UAMS Health emergency department is able to handle more patients and reduce the waiting time for admission and discharge. The helipad of our hospital connects via a trauma elevator to the emergency department on the ground floor.

The UAMS Emergency Room Facility

The 34 private rooms are designed with removable walls so that they can expand to serve up to 54 patients in a disaster. Additionally, the emergency department has a designated, isolated area for psychiatric patients with observation capabilities that allow for better patient safety. Private rooms are a growing trend in emergency care because of HIPAA privacy rules, safety and patient satisfaction. Privacy also benefits cancer patients who need isolation, and we now have three additional negative pressure isolation rooms.

Parking Information

Entry to the Emergency Department is from Shuffield Drive on the south side of the hospital. The entrance has a covered entry for both ambulance traffic and private vehicles, and there is a large parking area nearby.
