Methodist Healthcare is pleased to announce the opening of Methodist ER Helotes, the city of Helotes’ first and preferred emergency room. Located at 12285 Bandera Rd, Methodist ER Helotes is the fourth free-standing emergency room to open within the last year as part of the system’s ongoing effort to improve access to health care in San Antonio and beyond.
“We have long recognized the need for emergency services in Helotes and surrounding areas, and we are proud to offer this facility as an extension of Methodist Hospital’s emergency department,” commented Dan Miller, Chief Executive Officer for Methodist Hospital and Methodist Children's Hospital.
Board-certified physicians and medical professionals are available 24-hours a day, seven days a week to provide reliable medical care when minutes matter the most. Methodist ER Helotes is capable of treating serious, sometimes life-threatening emergency medical conditions including chest pain, respiratory distress, abdominal pain, broken bones or dislocated joints, serious infections, injuries, stroke symptoms, and more.
Methodist ER Helotes, a department of Methodist Hospital, is equipped to serve both adults and children through advanced technology and services including radiology, full-service laboratory and telemetry. Also available is specific on-site diagnostic equipment, including a 64-slice CT scanner, a dedicated x-ray suite and ultrasound and telemetry equipment. The facility has access to Picture Archiving Communications System (PACS) to electronically transmit any diagnostic image to any Methodist credentialed physician's office, specialist or any Methodist hospital emergency room for seamless follow up. Should patients require acute and specialized care, there are no additional expenses for transfer to Methodist Hospital or Methodist Children’s Hospital.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held on October 27 with remarks by Methodist Hospital CEO, Dan Miller and Mayor of Helotes, Rich Whitehead.
