Haslet's approximately 2,000 residents are served by a community known for the US-287 corridor and Haslet ISD campuses. What Haslet doesn't have is a freestanding emergency room capable of treating cardiac emergencies around the clock.

What happens when you arrive.

12-lead EKG within minutes
An electrocardiogram is performed immediately to detect ST-elevation, arrhythmias or other cardiac patterns indicating heart attack risk.
High-sensitivity troponin labs
Blood drawn immediately for cardiac enzyme levels — troponin results indicate whether heart muscle damage has occurred, with same-visit results.
CT angiography & chest X-ray
Advanced imaging on-site to rule out pulmonary embolism, aortic dissection, pneumonia, and other non-cardiac causes of chest pain.
Cardiac medications & IV access
Aspirin, nitroglycerin, anticoagulants and pain management started immediately when clinically indicated based on your presentation.
Cardiology specialist on call
Direct line to cardiologists and rapid transfer coordination to a cath lab if an intervention like angioplasty or stenting is required.

Continuous vital sign and cardiac rhythm monitoring for patients requiring serial EKGs or extended observation before a safe discharge.

Should I go to urgent care or an ER for chest pain in Haslet?
Always the ER. Urgent care clinics near Haslet cannot perform a 12-lead EKG, draw and analyze troponin levels, run a CT angiogram, or reach a cardiologist on call. Chest pain has dozens of possible causes — including heart attack, pulmonary embolism, and aortic dissection — that only an ER can properly evaluate. The extra minutes on the road to our facility are worth it.
How quickly will I be seen after arriving from Haslet?
Chest pain is triaged at the highest priority. You will be brought to a treatment room immediately, and a 12-lead EKG will be performed within minutes of arrival — typically under 5. Our average wait time across all conditions is under 10 minutes, and cardiac cases are never kept waiting.
Will my insurance cover an ER visit from Haslet TX?
Yes. Federal law (EMTALA) requires all major insurance carriers to cover true emergency care — such as chest pain — regardless of whether our facility is "in network." We accept BCBS, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Humana, Medicare, Tricare and most major commercial plans. See our full insurance details at /insurance/.
What should I do while someone drives me from Haslet?
Call 817-945-4200 to alert our team you are en route with chest pain symptoms so we can prepare a room before you arrive. Sit upright or in whatever position is most comfortable. If you have a 325 mg aspirin and are not allergic, chew it (do not swallow whole). Do not drive yourself, and if symptoms suddenly worsen, have your driver pull over and call 911 immediately.
Can Haslet residents use online check-in before leaving home?
Yes — and we encourage it for non-critical symptoms. Our online check-in at /online-check-in/ lets you submit your information before leaving Haslet so our staff can begin intake preparation. For actively worsening chest pain, call or come straight in rather than pausing to fill out a form.
Do you treat all types of chest pain, not just heart attacks?
Yes. Chest pain has many causes — including heart attack, angina, pulmonary embolism, aortic dissection, pericarditis, pleurisy, pneumonia, musculoskeletal injury, and GERD-related esophageal pain. Our goal is rapid diagnosis: rule out the life-threatening causes, treat what we find, and send Haslet patients home with a clear understanding of what caused their symptoms.
