We’re proud to be the first hospital in the state to integrate physical therapy directly into our Emergency Department. With PT expertise on the front lines, patients with mobility issues or neuro-musculoskeletal concerns can get assessed and treated right in the ED, often avoiding unnecessary imaging, extra medications, or a hospital admission.

Meet David Flores, PT, DPT, the first physical therapist serving inside our ED. He’s helping patients move safely and heal faster. His specialized training and bilingual care let us support even more of our community when they need it most.

This program is just the beginning, and we’re excited to lead the way in innovative emergency care for our community.
