The Valley Hospital is now open at 4 Valley Health Plaza in Paramus. (You may need to use 650 Winters Avenue for GPS.) All emergency care is now being provided at this location. Emergency care is no longer available at our Ridgewood campus.
Needing care for a serious illness or injury can be scary at any time, let alone during a public health crisis like COVID-19.
But it’s important to remember other health emergencies can – and do – still occur during these times. And hospital Emergency Departments (EDs) are always prepared to care for patients with serious conditions like heart attack, stroke, trauma and more.

To the ED … ASAP!When is it an emergency? Check out our list of symptoms and conditions that require a trip to the Emergency Department.

A delay in treatment could make your condition worse, and you may end up needing more critical care than if you had gone to the ED immediately.
If your first instinct is to seek emergency care, don’t wait – it could save your life.
Like many other hospitals, The Valley Hospital is still caring for patients who have COVID-19. But we also have a care environment that is open, safe and well equipped to treat patients with non-COVID conditions.
Our healthcare teams are taking every precaution necessary to ensure everyone’s safety, including isolating patients with COVID-19 symptoms and providing staff and patients with appropriate protective equipment.
When you need us, you can trust that we’ll be ready to care for you.
