This Month’s Focus: What Does Personalized Care in the ER Look Like?
When most people think about the ER, they imagine long waits, crowded rooms, and a lot of stress. That is exactly why Ally Medical ER was created. Our physician founders saw the need for something better. They wanted to give patients the kind of care they would want for their own families: care that is fast, compassionate, and personal.
From the moment you walk in, you will notice the difference. Our team greets you right away and helps you check in quickly. Our patients are also typically seen much faster than in traditional hospital ERs. While you are in your room, we do everything we can to make you feel comfortable by offering a warm blanket, snacks or water, and even teddy bears for our youngest visitors to help ease any fears.
When it is time to be seen, every member of our team takes the time to listen. You are treated as a person, not a number. We make sure your concerns are heard and your questions are answered. After your visit, we follow up with a call to check in and make sure you are doing okay after your visit.
We also understand that the cost of emergency care can feel overwhelming. That’s why our dedicated Billing Advocates are here to help. They are real people you can talk to who will guide you through your options and connect you with the best financial assistance for your situation, whether that’s through our financial support program, self-pay options, or other available resources.
So why do we do all this? Because we care about people. We want every patient who walks through our doors to feel seen, respected, and cared for. At Ally Medical ER, personalized care is not just something we talk about. It is the way we care for every person, every time.
“For me, personalized care means taking the time to understand what matters most to the patient and their uniqueness,” Irene Angwekwe, Facility Administrator said. “Being empathetic, listening to them, and delivering care in a way that makes them feel heard, respected, and valued.”
