Best Times to Visit

Quieter times: As a referral-based rehabilitation facility, admission is coordinated through your healthcare provider rather than walk-in. Contact the hospital or your referring physician to schedule intake at a mutually convenient time.

Busier times: Since Richardson Hospital does not operate a walk-in emergency department, there are no peak congestion periods to avoid. All admissions are planned and referral-based. For true emergencies, avoid delays — go immediately to the nearest acute-care emergency room.
