Safety in the ER

It’s knowing your healthcare can’t wait.

Emergency departments in the Sutter Health network have strict safety precautions in place to help keep our patients, their families and our employees safe. Always seek care when you need it.

 

Please note masks are mandatory in all healthcare settings and visitors to our hospitals will be required to follow the state of California’s health order.

Call 911 or go to the nearest ER when you need emergency care.
