Triage Unit

Triage is located in labor and delivery on the 1st floor at Edgewood. It is devoted an outpatient assessment area where patients are seen and evaluated prior to admission to hospital. Patients can be sent to triage by their physician or midwife for a short-term observation to determine what level of care is needed. Some patients may be treated and discharged home while others may be admitted for labor or fetal monitoring.

Patients that have not yet reached their 15th week of pregnancy are usually seen and treated in the Emergency Department.
