24 Hour Emergency Care in Texarkana
Texarkana's First Dual Designated Level III Advanced Trauma Center
Wadley’s Emergency Department is uniquely staffed by emergency medicine physicians and a dedicated staff of nursing personnel, all who are ACLS, CPI, TNCC, PALS, and ENPC trained.
Our Emergency Department is Texarkana’s first hospital designated as a Level III Advanced Trauma Center in the State of Texas and Arkansas. Our Advanced Trauma Center offers:
- Experienced physicians and nurses trained in trauma care
- Up-to-date equipment, including bedside sonography which, allows the physician to take a ‘quick look” and identify serious conditions quickly.
- Primary Stroke Service Provider. Our highly trained staff is able to recognize the signs and symptoms of acute stroke to ensure the best possible outcomes for patients. We are the only hospital in Texarkana to have a neurologist physically available to see patients in the Emergency Department and the only hospital in Texarkana and only the seventh in the State of Texas to receive the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association’s Target Stroke Honor Role Elite Plus. This prestigious award is given by the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association to hospitals who are able to treat stroke patients timely and efficiently to improve stroke patient outcomes and minimize disability from stroke.
- Fast Track. Our Fast Track Unit allows non-emergent patients to be seen faster, allows for better flow of emergent and critical patients through the main Emergency Department.

Man Up & Become Heart Smart
“Many men think their symptoms are a sign of something else, like heartburn, so they do nothing,” says Peter Ofman, MD, a Steward cardiologist. “Even a man who already had a prior heart attack may not recognize his symptoms, as each attack can be dramatically different.”
Heart Attack Information: What you know could save your life!
There are often warning signs leading up to a heart attack that people often ignore. Approximately 50% of people have symptoms within the two weeks preceding a heart attack. Through early recognition of symptoms and controlling risk factors, heart attacks can be prevented. Recognize ALL the signs!
Hands-Only CPR
Hands-only CPR in the first few minutes of an out-of-hospital sudden cardiac arrest for an adult victim can save a life.
