Emergencies

In case of an emergency, call the Acton Medical Associates number (978) 263-1131 first, unless you feel the condition is life-threatening. In such a case, call your local emergency telephone number for police and/or fire department assistance.

If you call Acton Medical Associates with an emergency, indicate to the operator that it is an emergency and provide essential information. Stay by the phone and keep the line clear. If you do not hear from us within a few minutes, please call again to see that we have the correct number and have relayed your message.

The number of the Emergency Department at Emerson Hospital is (978) 287-3690, but should only be used if our number is out-of-order (a rare event). If you don’t think the problem is life threatening but you are considering going to a hospital emergency room, please call us first.
