Emergency Help When You Need It

If it's an emergency to you, then it's an emergency to us. Those are words we live by at Porter. More than 60,000 times last year, you trusted Porter's highly skilled physicans and staff to treat your urgent health care needs.  

Porter offers emergency treatment at two convenient locations: 

• Valparaiso Hospital Campus, 814 LaPorte Avenue, Valparaiso; and,
• Portage Hospital Campus, 3630 Willowcreek Road, Portage.

Staffed by physicians and nurses who have specialized training in emergency care, all of Porter's Emergency Department physicians are board-certified by the American Board of Emergency Medicine or the American Board of Emergency Osteopathic Medicine, the two most recognized credentialing bodies for ER physicians in the United States. And our emergency nurses are trained in trauma care and emergency pediatric care.

Both hospitals also have a "Fast Track," an extension of the Emergency Department where minor illnesses and injuries are treated. Basic lab tests and X-rays may be ordered from this area.
