Here is a quick photo tour of the Emergency Department at Samuel Simmonds Memorial Hospital in Barrow, Alaska.  SSMH is a Critical Access Hospital with 14 Inpatient rooms, a 2 bed Emergency Department, and there are 6 Clinic Beds located within the Emergency Department footprint.  The clinicl rooms are utilized on day shift for scheduled clinic visits.  We use the clinic rooms at night for minor care type patients.

The main doors leading into the ED from the waiting / registration area.
