Adeptus wants to be your first choice for emergency medicine. The company owns and operates First Choice freestanding emergency rooms in Texas. Its approximately 100 locations offer emergency care for things like head injuries, heart attacks, and other life-threatening conditions. First Choice locations are open 24 hours a day, focus on getting patients in front of a doctor quickly, include full radiology and lab facilities, and most include special rooms for pediatrics and ob/gyn patients. The company maintains partnerships with local hospitals for direct admissions when needed. The company was formed as First Choice ER in 2002. Adeptus exited Chapter 11 bankruptcy in October 2017; it is now owned by hedge fund Deerfield Management Company.
