Diagnostic Imaging
Diagnostic imaging allows physicians to view the inside of your body to help confirm a diagnosis and determine the causes of an injury or illness. This service is also used to see how well your body is responding to a treatment for an illness or injury.
Our Diagnostic Imaging Department treats a wide range of medical conditions and assists in the diagnosis of many more.
Personalized Care
Our talented team of ARRT-registered technologists and board-certified radiologists strive to provide the best patient experience throughout the entire treatment process.

How does the emergency department work with first responders and other health care providers?

Sheridan Community Hospital’s Walk-In Clinic and Emergency Department are available 24/7/365 to respond to your healthcare needs. Our Walk-In Clinic level of care is determined by the care you receive.

We are here for all your medical needs, whenever you need us.
Examples of some services offered in our Walk-In Clinic include:

- Return to work/school evaluation & note
- Prescription refill for asymptomatic patient
- Single Suture/Staple removal by a nurse

All visits requiring evaluation by a provider, any diagnostic testing (lab or x-ray) would require a full work-up and will be treated in our Emergency Room, not the Walk-In Clinic and will be billed accordingly.
