Your life may depend on knowing we are here.
At Williamson Medical Center, emergency services are provided by the Emergency Department and the Emergency Medical Services Department. The medical director of emergency care is board certified in emergency medicine and is supported by an experienced team of emergency physicians. All Emergency Department nurses are certified in advanced cardiac life support and pediatric advanced life support. Our EMS Department maintains the highest rating available from the state.

When a patient arrives, a triage nurse determines his or her condition, measures vital signs and asks about medical history. Because the most critical illness or injury must be treated first, waiting times vary. Critical illnesses and injuries include trauma (car accident), chest pain, symptoms of a stroke or severe bleeding.

Bedside registration reduces patient waiting time, allowing care to be administered as quickly as possible.

FastTRACK
FastTRACK puts patients with less critical illnesses and injuries on the “fast track” to recovery. Designed to reduce waiting, FastTRACK treats minor illnesses and injuries such as sore throats, fevers, sprains, ear infections, upper respiratory problems, insect bites and minor cuts and abrasions. FastTRACK patients are cared for in the Emergency Department by registered nurses and nurse practitioners under the direction of an emergency physician.

EMS
Williamson Medical Center provides emergency medical services for Williamson County with ambulance stations in Brentwood (two), downtown Franklin, east Franklin (at Williamson Medical Center), Fairview, Grassland, Leiper's Fork, Thompson's Station and Triune. Each station is staffed 24 hours by specially trained emergency personnel. In addition, the EMS Department includes a nationally recognized Bike Medic Team. All team members must be certified EMS cyclists, a distinction earned through the International Police Mountain Bike Association. The Bike Medic Team provides medical support for more than 60 special events each year.
