Directions to the ER
There are three ways to access our emergency department.
You can turn onto Coronado St towards Southeast Idaho Family Practice. Then turn left on Cortez Ave. Turn right before the Mountain View Hospital entrance and toward the parking garage. Follow that road as it curves to the left to get the ER entrance.
If you are driving on Channing Way, you can also turn East near the canal and follow the signs to the ER.
There is also access to our emergency department off of 25th Street via 25th Circle.
Parking is available in front of the ER entrance, in the parking garage, and in the lots surrounding the hospital (as shown on the map).
Follow Up Care
Our team is proud to care for our community members when they need it most. However, we know we are only one part of your care team. To ensure you get the best long-term treatment possible, we provide follow up reports to your primary care provider (if you list one in your admission paperwork).
We think it is important your doctor knows when you go to the hospital and why. Sharing this information can help your doctor make any necessary adjustments to your care plan and help you stay healthy.
