Nationally, more than 100 million people visit emergency rooms every year. For Butte County residents, Oroville Hospital's Emergency Room is often the first point of care. Our "ER" operates as a designated Level III trauma center. This means that we are staffed and equipped to treat all but the most severe emergency conditions, and provide routine non-emergency care. We are open 24-hours a day and have a physician on duty at all times.

Our highly-motivated, experienced staff of emergency care professionals consists of Board Certified Emergency Room Doctors, emergency-trained Physician Assistants, and specially trained nurses certified as either Mobile Intensive Care Nurses or by successful completion of a Trauma Nurse Core Course.

Oroville Hospital's Emergency Services Department is accredited by Nor-Cal EMS, Northern California Emergency Medical Services trauma system.
