Our Emergency Department Locations

EAMC ED

East Alabama Medical Center - Opelika, AL

Our 28-bed, Level III Trauma Center is a modern emergency department equipped with specialized rooms for trauma, medical, and cardiac care. Staffed 24/7 by physicians and nurse practitioners, the EAMC ED sees around 50,000 patients each year—about 135 per day. We use the Emergency Severity Index (ESI) Level 5 Triage System to assess patients upon arrival. This helps us quickly identify and prioritize those with life-threatening conditions. Patients with less urgent needs may experience longer wait times, depending on bed availability and whether their care requires a physician or can be managed by one of our skilled nurse practitioners.
