Data sources: wait times are typical waits to first assessment, or the average of visitor reports in the last hour where there are any. Overall rating, ownership, visit volume, median time spent in the ER and the share of patients who left before being seen come from the CMS Hospital Care Compare data. CMS ratings are a broad summary, not a measure of whether a hospital is right for your situation. “—” means the hospital doesn't report that measure to CMS.

Alternatives to the ER
Call 911 or go to the ER for chest pain, stroke symptoms, severe breathing trouble, major injury, a severe allergic reaction, or any symptom that may be life-threatening.
For non-emergency symptoms, these options can help you get guidance and decide whether home care, urgent care, or a trip to the ER is the right call.
Call your insurer's free 24/7 nurse line
Most health insurance plans include a free nurse advice line where a registered nurse can help you weigh your symptoms and figure out the right next step. The number is usually on the back of your insurance card.
Use urgent care or a telehealth visit
Urgent care centers and 24/7 virtual visits handle minor injuries, infections and prescriptions, usually with a far shorter wait and a lower bill than an ER visit. Check with your insurer which ones are in network.
