Gerrish Family Fast Track Service
Designed to reduce wait times in the Gerrish Family Foundation Emergency Department, Fast Track sees patients with minor illnesses or injuries that require treatment, but not extensive evaluations, in a shorter period of time. Our goal is to have all Fast Track patients seen, treated, and released in two hours or less.
Named for a generous gift by the Gerrish Family, the Gerrish Family Foundation Fast Track officially opened in fall 2008. The long-awaited improvement to the Emergency Department added 2500 square feet of Fast Track space with four treatment rooms, a nurse's station, a mid-level practitioner's office, and waiting room, all well integrated into the main ED.
The Gerrish Family Fast Track Service is open seven days a week, 10:00am to 10:00pm.
Some of the minor conditions treated in the Gerrish Family Foundation Fast Track area include:
- Fractures or broken bones
- Cuts or lacerations
- Upper respiratory infections
- Urinary tract infections
- Sprains
- ... and more.
