Riverside Walter Reed also has an easily accessible emergency center that’s open 24 hours a day. Friendly and knowledgeable doctors and nurses work diligently around the clock to keep the Emergency Department running smoothly and efficiently. There is no emergency too big or small for this skilled and caring team of professionals. The Riverside Walter Reed emergency staff is trained to care for everything from a minor cold to severe trauma. In the event that a patient requires treatment that the Hospital cannot provide, LifeEvac III, an air ambulance that responds within eight to ten minutes, will transport the patient to a surrounding hospital. In an emergency situation, time is critical. By teaming up with LifeEvac III, Riverside Walter Reed is able to provide the community with rapid services that saves lives. Riverside Walter Reed recognizes that illness and minor injury cannot always be planned or scheduled. That’s why in 2007 Riverside Urgent Care located at the Hayes Medical Center near Gloucester Point opened to compliment the hospital’s emergency center and primary care network of physician offices. Riverside Urgent Care
does not require an appointment and is open seven days a week. The physicians and staff at Riverside Urgent Care can easily coordinate and communicate your healthcare with other Riverside Physicians through a pioneering electronic medical record that connects over 340 health care providers that serve citizens of the Middle Peninsula. Riverside Walter Reed Hospital continued its commitment to meeting the needs of Middle Peninsula citizens by creating the Riverside Middle Peninsula Cancer Center, which opened on the hospital’s campus in 2004. This state- of-the-art facility offers both radiation and chemotherapy at one location. The center’s entire design supports collaboration and coordination among all the methods used to fight cancer. These initiatives were specifically created to keep cancer patients from having to travel to different facilities. At the Riverside Middle Peninsula Cancer Center, the caring, compassionate staff treats cancer using equipment and protocols that parallel what is available at large academic institutions, but in a comfortable and nurturing environment that allows you

to stay close to home near the support of family and friends. The late Dr. Mark Ellis, Medical
Oncologist and Medical Director of cancer services at Riverside Walter Reed, designed and implemented a vision of providing holistic care to compliment radiation and chemotherapy. Patients’ healing is facilitated and made more comfortable through the offering of complimentary services that include massage, pet and music therapy, just to name a few. These complimentary services are offered free of charge through the financial support of the Riverside Foundation.
