The Joseph C. Corkery Emergency Center at Lahey Hospital & Medical Center offers advanced emergency care in a facility built specifically to meet the needs of the community. The services are geared to all emergency care servicing over 65,000 ED visits a year. The team consists of full-time, board-certified emergency physicians and nurses with extensive training in emergency medicine.
As the only Level I trauma center north of Boston, Lahey is uniquely qualified to provide time-sensitive, critical care for hundreds of thousands of people in the region. The newly expanded facility is the result of extensive research and planning. It features 36 private rooms with space for family members to stay with patients, an advanced imaging suite for CT scans and X-rays, comfortable waiting areas, enhanced infection and decontamination areas, four trauma bays with passageways between the rooms to allow doctors easy access to multiple patients at a time, free and convenient parking and three private exam rooms for patients in need of behavioral health services.
