Responsibilities

ER at North Valleys, an extension of Northern Nevada Medical Center, located at 7515 Sky Vista Parkway in Reno, will be open 24/7 and welcomes all ages from pediatrics to seniors. The facility features multiple treatment rooms, including fast-track exam rooms designed to efficiently triage low severity patients.

Like a hospital emergency department, the FED treats a variety of emergency medical needs including trauma conditions, lacerations, acute pain, heart attack, stroke, and other life‑threatening but emergent conditions. If a patient requires a higher level of care, NNMC partners with local EMS providers to transport patients to an appropriate regional hospital.

“In alignment with providing the highest quality emergency care, we staff our FED’s with board‑certified emergency medicine physicians, ER‑trained nurses, and techs,” said Travis Anderson, MD, Medical Director of Emergency Services at Northern Nevada Health System. “When a patient experiences a life‑threatening emergency, we want to instill confidence that they have access to 24/7 medical services in their neighborhood.”
