Urgent Care: Visit the Emergency Room at Madigan Army Medical Center
Madigan Army Medical Center provides emergency services for all ages, available 24 hours a day. An emergency is defined as an acute illness or injury that may pose a threat to life, limb or eyesight; result in unreasonable pain or suffering; or requires immediate care or attention to ensure the best recovery possible. When someone develops signs and symptoms of a stroke, heart attack, or other life threatening emergency then 911 should be called, or the person should report immediately to the nearest emergency facility.

The emergency department does not give medical advice over the phone. If a person believes there is an emergency  911 should be called, or the person affected should report to a nearby emergency department.

All patients will be assessed (triaged) as soon as possible on arrival to the Emergency Department. Based on the acuity/severity and type of emergency some patients may be seen sooner than others. If medically appropriate, some patients may be referred for same day appointments to their enrolled primary clinic. As an affiliated teaching facility of the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, patients may be evaluated by medical students and residents in addition to the emergency department staff providers as well.

Non-beneficiaries will have a medical screening examination performed, and if necessary will be transferred to a civilian facility for further needed care. After evaluation, if patients need continued inpatient care, they may be admitted. If there are specific services or specialist care needed that is unavailable at the MOFMC, then patients may be transferred to an appropriate civilian facility for continued care. The Emergency department staff will make all efforts to provide compassionate, timely care for all patients, regardless of the patient category (e.g. Tricare Prime, Tricare for Life, VA).
