Advanced and Award-Winning Emergency Care

The Lakeland Regional Health Medical Center Emergency Department has earned state and national awards for the revolutionary ways we reduce wait times, provide faster diagnostic testing, and achieve better and safer patient care. Though we are one of the busiest single-site emergency departments in our nation, our patient wait times are exemplary.

Our team and processes have earned us the 2014 Innovation of the Year in Patient Care Award from the Florida Hospital Association and the 2014 EmCare Genesis Cup Award for healthcare innovation. We are also an Accredited Senior-Friendly Emergency Department by the American College of Emergency Physicians.

Level II Trauma Center

As Polk County’s only Level II Trauma Center, we provide initial trauma care, regardless of the injury, with physician subspecialists promptly available. We became a state-approved Level II Trauma Center in 1998 and are the only designated trauma center for Polk, Highlands, and Hardee counties.

While this is Lakeland Regional Health’s primary service area, trauma patients are also received from other counties, including Hillsborough and Pasco. We are equipped with all the necessary state-of-the-art lifesaving equipment, a dedicated chest pain management team to expedite cardiac cases, and robust neurosurgery services for traumatic spinal cord and brain injuries.

Cardiac and Chest Pain Management

Lakeland Regional Health Medical Center is the only hospital in the region to collaborate with Polk County Fire Rescue and Emergency Management Services to offer the timeliest care for those experiencing potentially fatal heart blockages.

The Direct-to-Catheterization Lab initiative reduces how much time transpires between patient arrival at the hospital and the opening of an artery to allow blood to begin properly flowing again. Through this effort, the average length of time is 50 minutes from the first Emergency Medical Technician contact to the catheterization lab at LRH Medical Center. According to the American College of Cardiology, the ideal time for intervention by balloon angioplasty to open an artery is within 90 minutes of entering a hospital.

Additionally, Lakeland Regional Health’s Comprehensive Stroke Center has earned The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval® Accreditation and the American Stroke Association and the American Association’s Heart-Check® Mark for Comprehensive Stroke Certification by demonstrating continuous compliance with performance standards.
