Emergency visitors
Visiting the Hudson Hospital Emergency Center
When the unexpected happens, we’re ready. As a designated Level IV Trauma Center, we provide high quality medical services and personalized care to our patients in Hudson and throughout the St. Croix Valley.
Our board-certified emergency medicine doctors specialize in treating a wide range of emergency conditions, and are the same world-class physicians who serve at the Regions Hospital Emergency Center in St. Paul. We’re also prepared to coordinate air and ground transport to partnering hospitals if a higher level of care is needed.
If you or a loved one is facing an emergency, call 911 immediately.
Bringing a patient to the Emergency Center
When an illness or injury isn’t life threatening, many patients choose to drive to the Emergency Center instead of calling an ambulance. If this is the case, we always encourage a loved one to drive.
If you need a wheelchair or help walking in from the car, please call ahead and a staff member will meet you at the Emergency Center entrance. You can reach us at

What to bring
If there’s time, bringing some essentials can help speed up the emergency care process. Try to bring:
- A copy of the patient’s health insurance information
- A list of the patient’s previous medical problems, diagnoses, allergies or recent medical tests
- A current list of the patient’s medicines
- The patient’s glasses, prescriptions and photo ID
When a patient arrives
When you arrive, a nurse will check your vital signs, evaluate your condition and ask you about your health history. This ensures that patients with the most serious illnesses or injuries will be seen first. Patients with an emergency medical condition (such as severe bleeding, severe breathing problems, stroke) will be seen immediately.
Visitor information
All visitors are welcome, and we’ll work with you and your family to determine the number of visitors welcome at any one time. This gives your loved one time to heal, rest and receive the care they need.
