Dr. Robert H. Harris Emergency Care Center

Comprehensive Care

No one can predict when an emergency may happen, but if you or a loved one find yourself in an emergency and medical care is needed, you can rest assured that the Dr. Robert  H. Harris Emergency Care Center for emergent and ambulatory care at Bayshore Medical Center is close by. Since opening nearly 50 years ago, the medical center has continuously grown, offering advanced technology, expanded services and highly qualified physicians to treat the diverse needs of the community.

Expanded Services

Our expanded state-of-the-art emergency department has increased outpatient services for the community and is staffed by a full-service team of emergency medicine clinicians. It offers 24/7 immediate coverage by board certified Emergency Medicine physicians with support from specialists in cardiology, orthopedic surgery, neurosurgery, pulmonology, surgical specialists and many others. Our physicians are supported by a multidisciplinary team of Advanced Practice Providers, nationally recognized magnet nurses, and experienced technicians.

Benefits of the new Dr. Robert H. Harris Emergency Care Center include:

• 32,000 square foot Emergency Care Center, more than twice the size of our previous emergency department
• Resources to care for 55,000 adult and pediatric patients annually
• Decreased wait times and increased efficiency
• 35 private patient treatment rooms with built-in privacy blinds and bariatric-friendly beds

Should you need additional care, we’ve added a substantial amount of advanced technology throughout the hospital including a new surgical robot, the latest high-definition imaging equipment, and life-saving technology in our cath lab thanks to our donors. And while we hope you won’t need to visit our emergency department, we’re ready to care for you and your family, should the need arise.
