Emergency Services
St. Luke's ER is ready for anything, even if you're not. From catastrophic injury or illness to scraped knees and sore throats, St. Luke's has you and your family covered.
In December 2008, St. Luke's opened the doors to a new ER. With easier access and faster service, the renovated space better serves our growing community in a compassionate and family-centered environment. Included in the space are 34 private patient rooms, each equipped to handle both pediatric and adult patients. To learn more about our renovated space, take a virtual tour.
Home of the second busiest ER in the state, St. Luke's ER treats over 50,000 patients a year and each month, handles about 600 ambulance calls and nearly 30 helicopter transports. St. Luke's ER is home to Lifeguard Air Ambulance. The blue helicopter has been a familiar sight in the skies around Cedar Rapids since 1981.
St. Luke's ER staff includes doctors trained in emergency medicine and specially-trained registered nurses and emergency medical technicians who provide the most immediate, appropriate care. St. Luke's and the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics have partnered to offer the state's only emergency medicine residency program, which is based at St. Luke's.
