      Getting you high-quality care faster when every minute counts

      In an emergency, waiting is stressful. You need answers and care right away.

      In 2024, patients at Genesis Perry County Medical Center were seen by a medical provider in less than 6 minutes on average from the time they entered the Emergency Department.

      This matters because during a trauma, heart attack or stroke, time can change everything. The first hour after symptoms begin is often called the Golden Hour. Getting quality care within that time can improve outcomes and give you a better chance to recover.

      Exceptional because minutes matter

      In 2024, the Genesis Perry County Medical Center Emergency Department (ED) had an average wait time of less than 6 minutes from the time a patient enters our ED until they are seen by one of our medical providers for treatment.

      Why do we work so hard? Because in cases of trauma, heart attack or stroke, every minute matters. The first hour after the onset of symptoms or injury is called “The Golden Hour” because it’s recognized that the sooner trauma, stroke or heart attack patients reach expert care – particularly if they arrive within 60 minutes of the onset of symptoms or injury – the better their chance of survival. Every minute matters.
