Adeptus Health: Operator of Freestanding Emergency Rooms

Patients who are in need of immediate attention are usually rushed to emergency clinics and hospitals. It is in these facilities that patients are given first aid medication before they are transferred to larger hospitals if the issue requires admission. In the United States, one of the largest operators of these facilities is Adeptus Health.

As a healthcare provider, Adeptus Health, Inc. continues to provide its services to the communities it is located through different brand names. It serves as the parent business of First Choice Emergency Room and Dignity Health Arizona General Hospital. The latter however is a full-service hospital that continues to provide patient care for both in and out of patient customers. Just like First Choice, the facility features state of the art devices and patient care services. It also provides residents in the Phoenix, Arizona area access to 24/7 emergency medical care.

The First Choice Emergency Room is considered as the oldest and the largest operator of freestanding emergency rooms in the country. In addition to the emergency services they offer, they also have on-site laboratory and a complete suite of diagnostic technology. The operations of the business are focused in the states of Colorado and Texas. They have facilities in Denver, Colorado Springs, Austin, Houston, San Antonio and Dallas/Fort Worth. As of, they have more than 50 facilities in operation in these regions. The first emergency room was established in 2002.

By continuously upgrading their technology and the services they offer, Adeptus Health, Inc. continues to dominate the market of emergency services. It is in Lewisville, Texas that the business holds its corporate office. In June 2014, the company has gone public.
