— When you or a loved one needs emergency medical attention, time is of the essence. For residents on Janesville’s northeast side and the Milton area, the time from injury or illness to medical care is now shorter, thanks to the newly opened Mercy Hospital and Trauma Center Emergency North and Mercy Clinic North. The new facility, at 3400 Deerfield Drive in Janesville, opened Monday.

"We have a full-service emergency department, with nine state-of-the-art emergency rooms,” said Dr. Glenn Milos, a board-certified emergency medicine specialist, during a community open house Jan. 7 at the new Mercy North Campus.

The Mercy North emergency room includes two fully equipped trauma rooms.

“We have board-certified emergency medicine physicians working here, we have trauma nurses in all acute-care areas and we’re going to utilize the physicians and nurses that work at (Mercy’s) main emergency, they’ll be rotating through,” said Milos, who worked the first clinical shift in the emergency room on Monday.

The Mercy North emergency room provides 24-hour access to high-definition digital X-ray imaging, a state-of-the-art computed tomography (CT) scanner, ultrasound and laboratory services.
