Our 5-bed Emergency Department treats a variety of medical conditions, ranging from lacerations and illnesses to life threatening injuries. We treat more that 6,000 patients a year from the Southeast Colorado and Western Kansas areas. Warning signs that indicate a medical emergency, according to the American College of Emergency Physcians might include:  Difficulty breathing or shortness of breathChest or upper abdominal pain or pressureFainting, sudden dizziness or weaknessChanges in visionDifficulty speaking, confusion, changes in mental statusAny sudden or severe painUncontrolled bleedingSevere or persistent vomiting or diarrheaCoughing or vomitingSuicidal feelingsProwers Medical Center's primary goal is to treat patients who arrive in our Emergency Department for care in the most medically suitable, timely and cost effective manner. Patients presenting to the Emergency Department at Prowers Medical Center will be asked for a form of identification and will be provided a medical screening exam performed by a physician to determine the urgency of their condition. If the condition of a patient is determined to be a non-emergency, payment for services will be required prior to treatment. The minimal charge for non-emergency treatment is $250 and will be expected at the time of service. This policy applies to Non-Emergency conditions only. Minor injuries and illnesses including fevers, ear infections, flu and sprains can be diagnosed and treated by your primary care physician or you can utilize one of our Convenient Care Clinics. Visit our Sunrise Health Clinic for early morning non-emergency health care problems or our Convenient Care Clinic for early evening non-emergency health care problems.
