Emergency Department

The Emergency Department at Coon Memorial Hospital (DHCHD) was completed in 2015 to enlarge the department to better serve our community. It contains 3 Trauma Rooms,an OB/Gyn room, a pediatric room, and isolation room. Within the new Emergency Department we included a shower and eye wash station to be able to handle chemical burns.

We are designated as a Level 4 Trauma ED with the state of Texas, and typically see about 420 patients a month.

In order to treat traumas and major illnesses quickly, the ED is located near to lab and X-ray departments and is staffed 24/7/365 with Medical Practitioners and certified nurses.

Dr. Shad Newson, Emergency Department Clinician Supervisor, not only works regular shifts in the ED; but also supervises non-physician providers in the department. Currently our regular providers within the ED are:
Shad Newson, MD
Ky Burden, DO
Ronnie Mylott, FNP
Keith Powell, PA-C
David Ward, PA-C
Jason Wright, PA-C
Jerry Crane, PA-C

Our staff is well educated with:

All of our staff is ready to help you in your emergent time when you come to us for care at the Emergency Department at Coon Memorial Hospital.
