Parkridge Cleveland ER

A freestanding emergency room operates as a stand-alone ER not physically connected to a hospital. The ERs can help those experiencing a medical emergency, but who may live too far from a traditional emergency room. Like a traditional emergency room, a freestanding ER offers life-saving treatment and diagnostic care. In Cleveland, if a patient needed a higher level of care, transportation will be arranged to provide a seamless transition to the hospital of the patient's choosing.

Our freestanding emergency rooms accept all insurance plans, including TennCare. No one will ever be turned away from a Parkridge Health System freestanding ER.

None of the funding will come out of your pocket. Parkridge Health System is a tax-paying entity that partners with charitable organizations and local groups in an effort to give back to the community. We have been a part of the Chattanooga community for over 50 years, and we look forward to expanding our ability to serve Bradley and Polk County residents.

The heavy traffic sometimes associated with a traditional hospital emergency room won’t be a concern here. Freestanding emergency rooms are smaller facilities and don’t substantially increase traffic. However, we will work with TDOT to ensure the proper steps are taken so that traffic won’t be an issue.

Parkridge Health System is committed to being a good neighbor and not disrupting the community with unnecessary noise. Sirens from vehicles coming to this freestanding ER will often not be used when transporting a patient. Most ambulances don’t use lights and sirens when heading to the emergency room. Lights and sirens are reserved for responses to potential emergencies and transporting patients with life-threatening conditions.
