FAQs
What’s the difference between a freestanding ER and a hospital-based ER?
A freestanding emergency room is a stand-alone ER that is not physically attached to a hospital. It provides the same life-saving and diagnostic care as a hospital-based emergency room — closer to home for residents who may live too far from a traditional ER. In Fairview, if a patient needs a higher level of care, transportation will be arranged to the hospital of their choice to ensure seamless continuity of care.
How will this facility increase access to underserved communities?
Our freestanding ERs accept all insurance plans, including TennCare. No one will ever be turned away from a TriStar Health freestanding ER.
Will my tax dollars be used to help pay for this facility?
None of the funding will come out of your pocket. TriStar Horizon Medical Center is a tax-paying entity that partners with charitable organizations and local groups in an effort to give back to the community. We have been part of Dickson County for over 68 years, and we look forward to expanding our ability to serve the residents of Fairview and surrounding communities.
Will this facility affect the traffic in the area?
The heavy traffic sometimes associated with a traditional hospital emergency room won’t be a concern here. Freestanding emergency rooms are smaller facilities and don’t substantially increase traffic. However, we will work with TDOT to ensure the proper steps are taken so that traffic won’t be an issue.
What about the noise from the sirens?
TriStar Horizon Medical Center is committed to being a good neighbor and not disrupting the community with unnecessary noise. Sirens from vehicles coming to this freestanding ER will often not be used when transporting a patient. Most ambulances don’t use lights and sirens when heading to the emergency room, lights and sirens are reserved for responses to potential emergencies and transporting patients with life-threatening conditions.
