When someone develops signs and symptoms of a stroke, heart attack, or other life threatening emergency then 911 should be called, or the person should report immediately to the nearest emergency facility. If deemed medically appropriate, some patients will be taken to the nearest emergency department, instead of the Mike O'Callaghan Military Medical Center.
The Emergency Department does not give medical advice over the phone, and if a person believes there is an emergency then 911 should be called, or they should report to a nearby emergency department. VA beneficiaries may call the VA 24-hour Nurse Advice line at 877-252-4866 or the Call Center at 702-791-9024 for assistance.
