Programs and Services
Bowie Health Center:
Emergency Services and Urgent Care
Bowie Health Center is a modern, full-service treatment facility for all types of routine injuries and sicknesses as well as minor traumas. Each of our attending physicians is a board certified specialist, with extensive training in emergency medicine. Each is also trained and certified in Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS). They are assisted in providing the highest quality medical care by a team of registered nurses, physician assistants, laboratory technicians and X-ray technologists.
Urgent/emergency treatment is provided to over 30,000 patients each year. Although most care is rendered to adults and children for relatively minor injuries (cuts, burns, sprains, broken bones, bruises, rashes, fevers, infections, etc.), about one quarter of those seen are treated for traumas, severe lacerations, heart attacks or other life-threatening conditions.
The most current therapy, including the use of blood clot dissolving drugs, is provided for heart attack victims. And for quick, accurate evaluation of chest pains, complete EKG testing and cardiac monitoring are available.
