Emergency Department

The Carson Tahoe Regional Hospital Emergency Department, a service of Carson Tahoe Regional Healthcare, features 24-hour emergency care for all stages of life, Vertical Care (a FastTrack system), and a convenient triage system. For any of us, chest pain, shortness of breath, extreme fever, much more could require emergency care at any moment. In these and similar scenarios, emergency care should be immediately available and compassionately delivered. The Carson Tahoe Regional Hospital Emergency Department, also known as Mallory Emergency Department, is located at 1600 Medical Parkway, Carson City NV 89703.

Additionally, Carson Tahoe Health received the esteemed Lantern Award from the Emergency Nurses Association from 2020-2023. The ENA recognizes just 25 emergency departments worldwide that exemplify exceptional practice and innovative performance in the core areas of leadership, practice, education, advocacy, and research. 

At Carson Tahoe’s Emergency Department, patients will be treated in a timely and compassionate manner, thanks to the following features:

• Expanded capacity including our Vertical Care (FastTrack System)
• An efficient triage system
• High tech ancillary services
• Dedicated emergency care professionals

Triage is the process by which an Emergency Room RN considers the severity of patient complaints and determines treatment priority.

• Upon arrival at the emergency department, a patient will fill out a few simple forms, and discuss their chief complaint with a triage nurse
• Patients with urgent, yet non-life-threatening, medical concerns will be admitted to the six-bay (bed) Vertical Care area, staffed by a physician’s assistant or a nurse practitioner, as well as a registered nurse.
• Patients with life-threatening conditions will be seen by one of Carson Tahoe’s board-certified emergency medicine physicians

ER – Bigger, Better, Beautiful, and Elevated by a Progressive Design
