Memorial Health Transfer Center
One number for ALL patient transfers, including STEMI, stroke and trauma.
The Memorial Health Transfer Center offers streamlined processes to expedite patient transfers and facilitate physician-to-physician consultations.
Our dedicated toll-free number is staffed 24/7 with a team led by experienced registered nurses. Their clinical expertise, combined with our advanced patient flow technology, means the Transfer Center is better equipped to serve patients, colleagues and physicians.
How the Transfer Center Works
We partner with physicians, nursing staff, the Emergency Department, perioperative and procedural areas plus other departments throughout Memorial Health to move patients through the continuum of care.
We assign patients to the appropriate bed based on location, diagnosis, level of care and other patient specifics to ensure optimal patient safety.
