Emergency Department

Penn Highlands Brookville

Penn Highlands Brookville’s Emergency Department, located on the hospital’s second floor, offers 24-hour emergency care to patients suffering from serious illness or injury, with a full emergency physician team on-site around the clock.

The department has earned the Chartis Center for Rural Health’s Performance Leadership Award for outcomes and the Hospital and Health System of Pennsylvania’s Excellence in Patient Safety Award, reflecting a consistent focus on safe, high-quality rural emergency care.

For residents of Brockway, Sigel, and the surrounding Jefferson County communities, Penn Highlands Brookville is the closest full-service ER, with direct access to Penn Highlands’ broader network — including the region’s only Level II Trauma Center in DuBois — when a patient needs a higher level of care.
