Our Services
Specialty rooms in the UPMC Williamsport Emergency Department
Of the 38 total rooms, we have eight specialty rooms designed to treat:
- Trauma.
- Behavioral health.
- Ear, nose, and throat conditions.
- Sexual assault.
Behavioral health
We have four special rooms for people in need of urgent care for a mental health crisis.
- Rooms are in a secluded, secure area for the safety of all patients, support persons, and health care staff members.
- Includes video monitoring, minimalistic protecting furniture, and medical equipment.
- High-tech nursing station outside the room allows the treating nurses to see the patients at all times and enter notes and patient records in real time.
Trauma
The two trauma bays have the extra supplies for treating people with traumatic injuries.
They also include special equipment, such as a plaster sink to aid in setting casts.
Ear, nose, and throat
The ENT room features an exam chair rather than a bed.
Being seated helps ED staff assess and treat people with these conditions.
Sexual assault
We've designed our sexual assault room with the patient's safety and privacy concerns in mind.
The spacious, comforting room:
- Is a safe haven for those who have just been through severe trauma.
- Has privacy doors and a private bathroom with a shower.
- Has specially trained and certified sexual assault nurses who know how to address sensitivity and a patient's legal rights.
