Open 24/7 Inpatient Medical Unit
New Braunfels ER & Hospital is a fully licensed hospital by the State of Texas. We have a 4-bed inpatient unit with medical/surgical as well as telemetry capabilities. Due to our smaller size, we can go beyond Safe RN-to-Patient Staffing Ratios, often with your own dedicated nurse. Our Board-Certified Internal Medicine Physicians will ensure that you are taken care of during and after your stay.
When your care needs more time for healing, allow our Board-Certified Inpatient Medicine Team to continue your care in our comfortable inpatient unit with safer RN-to-Patient ratios than other local hospitals.
Observation Medicine
The 24/7 Care You & Your Loved Ones Deserve
At New Braunfels ER & Hospital, we prioritize individualized care unique to each patient’s needs. Our observation medicine services ensure our patients receive the proper care and monitoring before discharge or admission.
Our observational medicine service ensures the well-being of the patient before discharge. Typically, traditional hospital systems discharge patients prematurely within two to three hours of care and do not provide comprehensive assessments, increasing the likelihood of overlooking underlying conditions.
Leave New Braunfels ER & Hospital confident that you and your loved ones have received the appropriate care through our state-of-the-art observation medicine service.
At New Braunfels ER & Hospital, we provide compassionate, concierge-level comprehensive medical care, treating both major and minor injuries.
No matter your injury or ailment, New Braunfels ER & Hospital is ready and equipped to quickly treat you and your loved ones. Our facility features minimal wait times, highly individualized care, and state-of-the-art technology. Discover all the capabilities of a larger hospital, without the hassle. We’re open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year – even holidays.
