Marlborough Hospital provides comprehensive, high-quality emergency services
for adults and children through its Emergency Department. This modern facility
is staffed around the clock by emergency medicine physicians from UMass Memorial
Medical Center. A highly experienced and skilled emergency nursing staff
complements the care provided by these expert physicians.
Services and
resources within the Emergency Department include:
- Seventeen examination and procedure rooms, including special rooms for
cardiac, trauma, pediatric and psychiatric emergencies
- A negative-pressure isolation room to keep hazardous infections away from
patients and staff
- A decontamination area with a separate entrance to treat patients exposed to
hazardous substances
- A state-of-the-art cardiac monitoring system to monitor heart rate, blood
pressure, respiration and blood oxygen levels in the Emergency Department, as
well as during transport to the hospital's Olsen Special Care Unit
The hospital's emergency services are backed by the latest diagnostic
resources, including a 40-slice computed tomography (CT) scanner and magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI), featuring high-definition technology.
As a

convenient access to the Duddie Massad
