The William F. Connell Emergency Department

The William F. Connell Emergency Department is now open.  Click here for a map to our new facility.

On June 16, 2009, our new facility opened providing patients and families with the best of both worlds: cutting-edge emergency medicine delivered in a community setting.  The three-story, 45,700 square foot facility houses the latest advancements in technology - including Boston's only 256-slice CT scanner in an ED - and provide a comfortable, private setting for patients and families. The modern façade links the hospital with the surrounding community as the ground-floor lobby opens to a public plaza at the corner of Washington and Cambridge streets.

The St. Elizabeth’s community can expect:

• Immediate access to critical hospital services such as diagnostics and imaging, allowing for expedited evaluation and treatment
• Coordinated care throughout the spectrum of medical specialties resulting in comprehensive medical care
• Patient-centered care that honors privacy and the patient and family’s right to participate in care
• Better service – Expedited triage, bedside registration and 32 treatment rooms reduce wait time and free patient valet parking means faster service

Community members and families celebrated the new facility at the Community Open House on Saturday, May 16.
