HSHS St. Joseph's Hospital Breese

What it reported doing in 2024

EMERGENCY SERVICES: SJB's emergency department staffs 24 hours a day, seven days a week by board-certified physicians and specially trained nurses, all of whom provide quality patient care for a wide range of concerns. Seeing just under 10,000 patients annually, SJB has access to a wide range of specialists either in-house or through advanced telemedicine to help diagnose and provide treatment for those requiring emergency care. With leading edge technology at our fingertips, we can process x-rays, CT scans and other diagnostic tests accurately and quickly, allowing faster diagnosis and treatment in a wide range of other areas, such as strokes or heart attacks, among several others. We continue our commitment to quality cardiac care by partnering with world-renowned cardiovascular specialists through the Prairie Heart Institute of Illinois. Prairie is a national leader in the innovation and development of new diagnostic and treatment procedures. HSHS St. Joseph's Hospital Breese was recently re-designated as an Acute Stroke Ready Hospital by the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH). IDPH identifies hospitals capable of providing emergent stroke care and directs EMS providers to transport possible acute stroke patients to these hospitals. This re-designation recognizes the emergency stroke care policies and procedures we have in place align with nationally recognized evidence-based standards and criteria. Also, St. Joseph's Hospital is currently a designated Standby Emergency Department Approved for Pediatrics with IDPH. IDPH recognizes children require specialized emergency care during medical emergencies due to their unique physiological, developmental, and emotional characteristics. This designation ensures emergency departments can provide high-quality emergency care for children.
