The Berenson Emergency Department
The Trauma Program is closely linked to BIDMC's Berenson Emergency
Department, a state-of-the-art, 23,000 square-foot emergency facility
that is not only one of the busiest emergency services in the Boston
area, but also provides care for some of the most seriously ill and
injured patients. Each year nearly 55,000 patients are treated in our
Emergency Department.
Our Emergency Department is led by physicians who are board-certified
in emergency medicine and staffed by experienced nurses. An acute care
trauma surgeon is in the Emergency Department within minutes (always
fewer than 15 minutes) of the arrival of patients with serious
injuries or illnesses that might require surgery.
BIDMC has a rooftop helipad to receive patients via air ambulance,
primarily Boston MedFlight. Boston MedFlight provides critical care
transport to patients regardless of their ability to pay, and is
supported by a consortium of Boston hospitals, including BIDMC, which
is a founding member.
