Columbus Community Hospital's Emergency Services staff is here for you and your family
24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Our Emergency Department offers 24-hour physician coverage and ACLS (Advanced Cardiac Life Support) certified nurses, working together as a specially trained team to make your experience less frightening and less stressful.
Urgent Care Services, located within the Emergency Department, are available 24 hours a day. Urgent Care Services are for minor, non-life threatening illnesses and injuries that require attention, but could be addressed in your physician's office. Urgent Care is not meant to replace the relationship you have with your primary physician, but is available if you are unable to schedule an appointment with your physician.
No referral is needed for use of our Urgent Care Services, however, it is recommended you have a clear understanding of your insurance coverage before utilizing Urgent Care. Our Emergency Department and Urgent Care Services accepts most major insurances.
Our Emergency Department staff works closely with area ambulance and EMS services in a 10-zip code area as well as Med-Flight services in Madison.
