Emergency Services
Help support Queen of the Valley’s Gasser Emergency Center to provide advanced life-saving care 24/7, 365 days a year.
Invest in Saving a Life
To further serve our community of friends, family and neighbors, Queen of the Valley’s Gasser Emergency Center is undergoing a modernization and expansion effort. This project includes a Rapid Care Unit, which is designed to treat patients with less critical needs, resulting in reduced wait times. It also accommodates a surge in patients during a crisis and can convert to an isolation unit, if required, to care for patients with infectious diseases, such as COVID-19.
The Queen’s Emergency Department (ED) provides life-saving care for more than 30,000 patients a year. A state-designated Level III Trauma Center with board-certified emergency physicians who are all diplomats of the American Board of Emergency Medicine, the ED also includes a roster of nationally recognized specialists in cardiac, cancer, orthopedics, urology and more, who are on-call around the clock. The Queen’s ED is also a Joint Commission Certified Primary Stroke Center, equipped with a state-of-the-art cardiac catheterization lab, and is Geriatrics Emergency Department Accredited.
Barbara Winiarski Stroke and Diagnostics Center
A $6.1 million transformative gift from Barbara and Warren Winiarski was announced at the 2021 Generous Heart event. The gift will create the Barbara Winiarski Stroke and Diagnostics Center adjacent to the Emergency Department. Watch this video to learn more.

Knocked Off His Feet
During the 2017 fires in Sonoma, firefighter Jonathan Martinez’s engine crew was in Kenwood working on a hillside. He heard one of his partners yell “Rock!”
“Usually they’re just little ankle-biters,” he says, “But this boulder knocked me about 15 feet off the mountainside, then rolled over me. I felt intense pain for a few seconds before everything went numb.”
A CHP helicopter hoisted Jonathan off the hillside, then transferred him to a REACH helicopter to go to the Queen. He was admitted to the Emergency Department and soon learned that he had a broken ankle, broken clavicle, hairline fractures on his ribs, significant bruising and—the major concern—contused lungs.
