The Tufts Medicine MelroseWakefield Hospital Emergency Department is an accredited Level III Trauma Center. We provide around-the-clock care for everything from minor injuries to life-threatening conditions. Our board-certified emergency physicians and trauma-trained clinicians are here 24/7 to deliver rapid, coordinated care when every second counts.
Our Emergency Department has its own separate, clearly marked entrance with a dedicated address. For the most direct route, please navigate to 70 Rowe Street, Melrose, MA 02176. This entrance is on the side of the hospital and is not the main lobby entrance (located on 585 Lebanon Street). Look for the large, red "Emergency" signs pointing to the covered drop-off area. We have dedicated parking for emergency use located directly at this entrance.
Our facility is designed for your safety, comfort and efficient care. We offer:
- Private exam, treatment and observation rooms with space for family
- A triage and "fast-track" area to treat you as efficiently as possible
- A modern imaging suite with CT scanners and X-ray capabilities
- Neurology and neurosurgery services to evaluate and consult on your symptoms
