Danbury ER Relocating on Wednesday 9/10/2014

[x635 4,066]

Be advised the Danbury Hospital Emergency Department will be relocating to Hospital Avenue beginning the morning of September 10, 2014. CMED will advise area ambulance services patching into Danbury once the move has been completed

For your informational purposes: once the move has been confirmed and CMED is advised of the move completion by Danbury Hospital, ALL ambulance services patching into the Danbury Hospital will receive the following message after completion of their radio patch into Danbury for a period of seven days at which time we will reassess:

“Be advised the Emergency Department has been relocated from Locust Avenue to Hospital Avenue – follow direction signs to the new ED.”

This is one awesome ED. We took a tour Monday night to familiarize ourselves with the site. A totally overwhelming facility (positive note). 70+ beds, 3 wings, one for pediatric emergencies. Semi protected ambulance bay that holds 6 rigs, up to 10 during a MCI. Heli-pad on the roof, with direct elevator access to the ED.

I was very impressed.
