Save precious minutes Lincoln Hospital has excellent equipment and the expertise to use it, with lab, radiology and surgical services just steps away from the ER.

Our Braselow Pediatric Code Cart helps expedite trauma cases on our youngest patients and we are eagerly awaiting an "AutoPulse" Non-Invasive Cardiac Support Pump.
This pump performs chest compressions during CPR.

Seeing is believing —
especially in the Emergency Room. Thanks to the new TeleER Sys-tem at Lincoln
Hospital, local physicians are able to get expertise and guidance from their
urban counterparts on tough trauma cases. Using a highly sensitive camera,
Tele-ER is a visual link from the Lincoln Hospital ER to MedStar’s
communications center, and specialists at Sacred Heart and Deaconess medical
centers. All locations have a video screen and remote operated video and audio
so that specialists in Spokane can get a first hand look at patients being
transported to them.
