Mercy Emergency Department - Fort Smith

The Emergency Department at Mercy Hospital Fort Smith is a Level III trauma center. While many hospital emergency rooms treat only minor injuries such as cuts and breaks, trauma centers are capable of providing a higher level of care. As a Level III trauma center, Mercy Hospital Fort Smith gives you 24-hour access to an in-house emergency physician, trauma surgeon, and anesthesiologist, in addition to intensive care services and orthopedic surgeons. A pastoral care staff provides emotional support to trauma victims and their families.

Mercy Hospital Fort Smith is also active in trauma prevention. Education is provided to elderly patients about fall prevention, our community education includes "Stop the Bleed" classes, and our ER collaborates with AVTRAC for injury prevention in the River Valley.
