Survive. Don't Drive!

Heart attacks and strokes are medical emergencies. If you or a loved one experiences any symptom of stroke or heart attack, dial 9-1-1 immediately. Do not attempt to drive to the hospital. Driving risks delays in diagnosis and life-saving treatments to restore blood flow to the heart or brain.

Emergency Care

Life is Unpredictable

You can rely on us to be close when you need us. At Baylor, we're equipped to handle a wide array of emergency situations.

We have emergency services in hospitals across the metroplex and all Baylor Health Care System hospitals provide full emergency services, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. For the most urgent emergency situations, critical patients can reach the nearest emergency room in minutes by a CareFlite helicopter.

Trauma Services

No one ever plans to have a trauma related event, but the fact is that trauma is the leading cause of death in people ages one to 44. Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas provides comprehensive trauma services at our Level 1 trauma center and directly receives trauma patients, as well as patients transferred from other Baylor Health Care System hospitals and health care facilities throughout the region.

Baylor Dallas is one of only 16 Level 1 trauma centers in the State of Texas. All Baylor Health Care System hospitals coordinate with Baylor Dallas to transfer patients when a trauma related event has occurred and a patient needs to receive a higher level of care than is offered at their local hospital. Patients are transferred either by ground or air ambulance.
