    ER Department Hours

    Due to staffing shortages, we have temporarily changed our emergency service’s operating hours. To serve the community best, we are maintaining afternoon & evening hours until midnight every night of the week.

    Prior to closing each night, patients requiring overnight hospitalization will need to be transferred to one of our Ethos hospitals in Somers, WI, or Chicago. Please call to discuss with a staff member.

    Hospital Operating Hours

    Please call before you come in to ensure we are the best resource for your pet’s needs.
