Greenwich Emergency Medical Services (GEMS) and Port Chester-Rye-Rye Brook EMS in Westchester County work closely with Greenwich Hospital’s Emergency Department. Both are part of the "911" emergency response system in their respective service areas. Call "911" if you require immediate medical assistance. Paramedics in the field are in direct communication with physicians in the Emergency Department so that care can begin at the scene.
The ED is located in the rear of the main hospital on the 1st floor. Follow the red Emergency signs to the entrance ramp off Lake Ave. Free valet parking is available.
Even before an emergency happens, you can take a lifesaving step thanks to a national program called “File of Life.” Just fill out a File of Life form, slide it into its magnetized holder, and stick it on your refrigerator.
The form covers everything from allergies, medical conditions and prescriptions, to blood type and special needs such as hearing aids. Ambulance teams know to look on the fridge when they arrive at a house, and can share information with the hospital en route.
Greenwich Hospital gives a File of Life kit to every patient discharged home.
You can also contact your local ambulance company for the File of Life:
Our wait time clocks help make sure you get the care you need as quickly as possible.
