Emergency Care
Secure your spot in one of our urgent care facilities or emergency rooms
The emergency department is currently under construction. Patient care will not be affected.
We’ve begun a major expansion project to modernize emergency services in San Luis Obispo County. The new addition will feature 18 private treatment rooms compared to the five bed ward and semi-private rooms existing today. Specialized rooms will be designated for critical care, infectious disease isolation, pediatrics and orthopedic emergencies as well as fast track beds for patients with less urgent conditions. Please note that parking will be affected during construction, and we thank you for your patience. Learn more about the expansion here.
The Emergency Department at French Hospital Medical Center treats every patient as a priority, whether you’ve broken a bone, fallen off a ladder, or had a heart attack. In fact, thanks to our QuickCare, you’ll be seen in 30 minutes or less.
