Eisenhower Health in Rancho Mirage is stepping up its toxicology services, becoming the only hospital in the Coachella Valley with toxicologists on staff. This means they can now offer 24/7 care for emergencies like poisonings, drug overdoses, and chemical exposures.
With the addition of a third board-certified medical toxicologist, the hospital is better equipped to handle life-threatening situations. Patients no longer need to travel long distances to major medical centers like UCSD or UCLA for specialized care.
Dr. Nathan Friedman from the toxicology team highlights that having this expanded service can be crucial in emergencies. “This is our specialty, and this is our best place to take care of you,” he says. The hospital also provides outpatient services for follow-up care, making sure patients receive ongoing treatment after their initial emergency.
The toxicology team collaborates closely with local first responders to ensure immediate and effective care. This enhancement in services is a big step forward for the Coachella Valley, giving the community access to high-quality toxicology care right at home.
