The urgent care and ER teams communicate closely, meaning the emergency hospital can be prepared and ready to receive patients requiring transfer. The full-time schedule consists of three 10-hour shifts per week.

The hospital operates as a state of the art urgent care facility and is fully equipped with modern technology to ensure the highest level of care is provided. The hospital is open to investing in new equipment based on suggestions from its doctors.
