The facility is affiliated with Salem based LewisGale Medical Center and will employ over 30 staffers, including emergency physicians and nurses. The center will include walk-in and ambulance entrances, eight private treatment rooms, digital ultrasound, diagnostic X-rays, CT capabilities, and an on-site laboratory.

"With a commitment to patient care as our focus, we are filling a gap by bringing high-quality emergency services to this part of the Greater Roanoke Valley which has seen significant growth," said Lance Jones, market president of the health system. "This facility will also have the same advanced medical technologies and life-saving services that are available at our main ER on the medical center campus and at our freestanding Cave Spring ER. With this new ER, patients who live and work in this area will be able to receive services faster, resulting in better health outcomes."
